All the resin parts
and a few others. The resin parts in the center are the overturn
structure. It came off the bottom pour block with a fine JLC saw
with no trouble. Because the seat belts were
molded nicely I painted the belts first and then used multiple thin
coats of interior green and flowed the paint on the
seats from a soft long round point brush. Seemed to work
well,
capillary action brought the paint up to the belt detail nicely.
Near as I can tell the little device in the front of the cowl is a
relief tube venturi. My subject did not have this,
and it's the first time I've seen it in a model kit. Above
the cowl are the flap hinges. I got them off of the pour stub OK
as they are held by a wafer thin connection but the first one
I tried to clean up blasted off from the tweezers so I made flap hinges from plastic card.
