*** Excellent research Squiffy,the last link gives excellent reference for the Vowkes filters used on tropical Spits,in-line engines suffered badly in such dusty conditions and radial engined aircraft faired much better in the desert.
Those etched parts look fiddly,if you cannot afford such luxuries then ordinary tin foil such as pizza bases is excellent for making seats and fittings,just use a pair of nail scissors to cut to shape,stick with cyno,rivets can be simulated by pressing a pin indent into the foil.
