Back to the 40-inch Planet of the Apes Icarus model build! 🚀 In Part 3, we move on to the front control section/cockpit area and get into a lot of mods, fixing, scratch building and detailing to make everything work and look a whole lot better than it did originally.

This part of the Planet of the Apes Icarus build was definitely one of those “down in the weeds” sessions. There are a bunch of little changes and fixes along the way, including modifying the counter consoles, scratch building the tunnel hatch, adding console lighting, fixing gaps, and doing various scratch-built details before getting into the primer and paint. 🔧

This is a large scale 40-inch Icarus spaceship model build with plenty of scratch building, model modifications, lighting and painting. If you're into Planet of the Apes models, Icarus models, sci-fi model building, scratch building, large scale models, model lighting, spaceship models and detailed model making, this build should be right up your alley.

🔨 What's in the video:

🔧 Various counter console mods
🚪 Scratch building the tunnel hatch
💡 Installing console lighting
🛠️ Fixing a gap on the counter console
🔩 Various scratch building and modifications
🎨 Priming and painting the control section

More Icarus build coming soon... We'll be assembling all the parts into one piece!!!
