Im starting an AH-1Z 1/35 build this week and just got my red fox kit today. Had them in my 48 Bone and they change the whole cockpit for the best....glad I found them a year or so ago, these the most impressive things to happen to model kits since resin became a thing.
The cockpit looks great but I believe you're missing all the wires that are behind the Martin Baker ejection seats, but I like the way it's coming along
For future troubles like what you had with cockpit fit, you might try putting something like lipstick or masking fluid on the sides. Test fit very gently and see what’s making contact and what isn’t. Could give a better idea of what’s interfering.
Matt do you think that maybe leaving the canopy sill part loose until the fuselage halves are mated will work better? I will be building this kit soon.
Not really. IMO the join has to start there (or start at the tail/heat shield, then move up front, then join the middle). It's a very floppy fuselage half arrangement and that doesn't work in anyone's favor.
There are plenty of alternatives. Clear gloss. Future. Even some gloss-drying PVA glues. I prefer the UV stuff since once it cures it's done, it's not going to do any weird leveling stuff. But it's all somewhat minor since the effect isn't really visible once everything is installed anyway.
It's a pretty more kits don't include optional flat featureless panels for people who are going to use aftermarket 3D details. Finemoulds did this on all their 72 scale Phantoms
