I used Magic Sculpt to add details to the ugly kit stick.

Hopefully I didn’t make it worse. Perhaps a tad bit large.
I also made new rudder pedals from plastic. Here glued and painted.

Control stick painted. I also added some bits of plastic to raise it somewhat.

The instrument panel was painted.

Then I painted the upper parts in black and added instrument decals.

Then I did a test fick of the whole cockpit.

With some wash and dirtying down I think it’ll look alright. At least a lot better than the things the kit provided.
Now I need to decide what to do with the “sight”. Next I think cockpit will be done and inserted into the fuselage.
