You can see where the old avionics hump was. I sliced it off and made a new one out of aluminum. I added one to the other side.

Start of the pilot. I feel a bit like Dr. Frankenstein.

I was surprised with just minimal fuss the plastic cockpit fit in the airplane. Almost like they were made for each other.

Test fitting inside the cockpit. A lot of foam had to be cut away so the new cockpit would fit.

The basic form of the AMT/Italerie/ESCI cockpit. A really nice, detailed model, but for my purposes most of it won't be seen.

To prep for the new cockpit I cut away the kit's seat back with a sharp blade.

I reshaped the tail area, and described the panel lines that were lost in the process. Unfortunately, these will be lost in the glassing and final finishing.

The tail, mechanical openings are filled with either balsa or green florists foam, sanded then glassed over.

The original wing (left) and the revised wing. The exposed foam becomes pretty fragile at this point.

To make the model more sturdy, I'll cover it with glass cloth and this Minwax Polycrylic. It is water-based, and does not smell. Easy application and cleanup.
