Fashionably late to the party here Mark (have an excuse) and wow, you are really going to town on this baby. Love the wiring and I take it, the round mark behind the wiring on the right interior wall is a knot in the plywood??? Just guessing......Top job Sir!!!.....

Just a quick update, not to far off done with the cockpit, it will not be getting the resin pilot seat the other one already glued in, it didn't want to go in without some hacking about and in the process I broke off an armrest,on closer inspection it was only held on pretty much by the flash so kit seat and the pe seatbelt will be added,I've match the seatbelt colour on the other seat with the pe colour so should be OK when it's buttoned up.,a few bits and bobs to sort out then the fuselage will be going to together.20220706_233349.jpg20220706_233310.jpg20220706_232917.jpg20220706_232745.jpg

They do look great Mark and must have been hard to make. All kidding aside, growing up back in the colonies, we had little inchworms whose body was the same color and their faces were dark, just like you painted them in the first pic. They would crawl up a tree, spin a cocoon around themselves and then later hatch into, maybe, killer moths or vampire bats or something. Keep up the good work!!!.........

Cracking work so far Mark :thumb2:

You are turning your build into a super detailing master class.

Don't expect me to go to these high limits Andrew. :anguished:

Excuse us Mark, beautiful work but frightening for a mere beginner like me on wingy things.
You'll be fine..... Just look at how my 109s are going!!

Just think of it as a tube shaped building with wings John. As long as you get the seams smooth you’ll do fine. No individual track links on it either, so that is a real bonus…..
You make a very good point!!!
