Cockpit Construction Cut this area from the kit Cut or sand off these area from the kit Note* Use the cockpit floor from the Airfix kit. This is not a great fit so a bit of checking will be needed as the fuselage half’s won’t join if this is not sanded slightly.

Fit kit parts to fuselage as instructions. Please note however, these are not a great fit and will need some major thinning on the rear face to get a flush fit. Once you have got the intake plates/rear instrument panels to have a snug fit but they must be level with the main internal cockpit walls, fit rear bulkhead Resin Part 1.

Trial fit the instrument panel and coaming but DO NOT fix at this stage. Fit rear instrument panel/coaming Part 2, using the kit cockpit floor as a guide.

Alternative Rear Cockpit If you want to build XP505 in the original colour scheme and before conversion, use resin Part 6. This was finished a greenish/blue GRP and had a top hatch which housed numerous instruments. (Sorry I do not have any more information on this). The ejector seat can also be added at this stage (part 5).
