Yvan Vansteenkiste starts
today with his very detailed 1/32 Trumpeter Su-25B. Yvan
used Eduard photo etch to add some amazing detail to the cockpit and then
gave his Su-25 a Russian camo scheme complete with noseart. This
Su-25 is a ground attack aircraft and Yvan equipped his jet with a full
weapons load to show the primary purpose of this Russian jet. This
big scale certainly permits some great cockpit detailing as you will see
in his photos.

Angelo M Picardo
has been busy scratchbuilding interior detail for the classic 1/32
Matchbox PUMA HC1.
Angelo did add some aftermarket detail to the cockpit, but the vast
bulk bulk of the interior detailing including scratchbuilt quilting
was done old school. The markings and shaded/faded camo are
for an RAF machine. I love it.
