Pack 3 - Stage 18. Cockpit (1)

[Mark, The Master Modeller]

Stage 18 gives us the cockpit floor.

Glue the window to the floor using a tiny amount of superglue.  Apply little more than a smear with a cocktail stick.  Some superglues can fog clear parts, so an alternative is to use PVA glue.  This dries clear.  The down side is that the joint won't be as strong, and it may be difficult to re-glue this is it comes adrift.

Glue the piping to the floor.  Again, use tiny amounts of super glue.

Glue the emergency manual hydraulic pump to the floor.  Note which way the pipes twist, and the pipe connector at the front can be given a bit of a twist to help the pipes fall into position.

Here's a view from a different angle.

Finally, glue the small black handle to the floor.  Again, a tiny amount of superglue!

This completes stage 18.
