Huzzah!!!! At last I made contact with my SK!! (Thank goodness for family keeping SWMBO busy!!!!)
I managed to successfully spray some clear green over the upper cockpit windows!! That led on to the fitting of the whole port access door prior to paint!! Feeling good, I then decided to continue with as much as I could. Upper cockpit consul installed complete with throttle quadrant and rotor brake handle. Then the cockpit glass. A bit of bunging up holes and I was ready to experiment with a new Primer, (Hycote matt black). Black rattly can thing!!! Stinks a bit, not a bad thing as SWMBO is asthmatic so stayed well clear!!!!!
Pics time!

Cockpit clear bits fitted. Whole thing had been wiped over with IPA prior to painting and hopefully getting rid of the horrible Lt Grey Primer.
Rear cabin door bunged up!!
