So for Xmas, I got a Target-only Conquest X-30 to go with my Target Rattler (because, I mean, the box for the rattler advertises the X-30, and I have to have "Everything that's on the box", right? Right.)
I always thought the X-30's cockpit was, for its length, poorly detailed. (Like, they could've put an instrument panel in the tub, or molded a hood into the upper body part itself. Because I have TOO MUCH STYRENE laying around, I got bored today and slapped together a new instrument panel and hood for the cockpit. I had planned to just white-glue it in place (attaching it to the underside of the nose) but the sprue I'd attached to use the third hand while I painted it turned out to hold it in place really well just from friction, so I reinforced that and now it's in place, displaying all the flight data Slip Stream could ever want, and it doesn't look like he's just using a jacuzzi at 80,000 feet.

It’s a photochop of a couple different illustrations of an F-16 instrument panel, arranged to fit. (I’d have to look up what block it was). Printed in photo paper and glued in place.

Thanks. I’m thinking about doing one for the rattler in Inventor; this one was going to be just a dimensional study for a model, but once it was together, I was like “Enh, Good enough!” The Rattler would obviously be less digital; I want one with some dimensionality |

now you just need to take a needle and red paint and scribe in the HUD on the cockpit glass lol (ducking and running)

Looks awesome. I don't have any experience with styrene. I just used an extra Skystriker dash to make my Conquest interior. I like what you did better as you didn't have to take from another vehicle like I had to do.
