Adding A Pilot to the Odd'l Rockets F-18 Hornet kit




Frank D. added to his Odd'l Rocket F-18 build!
Inside the cockpit - 
You can see the pilot!

"A wooden bead painted yellow with a black visor."
A great addition - 








 




The full view of Franks F-18 painted Blue Angels style.
It's a tricky mask and looks great!

  1. About what size bead? A Lego minifig head might work.

  2. This sort of reminds me of what you could do with some smaller plastic models of airplanes (1/100 and smaller) -- clip the top of a pin (the type that has a ball on the head) off and use it as a "pilot figure". At the smaller scales you often didn't even have a cockpit cutout (especially in old kits) -- it was basically a "shelf" on which you glued the canopy.
