Nice work with the tubing! I am looking forward to seeing the Taurus Plugs mounted!

Evening,

Broken the back of the cockpit

Des was right, this really is a cracking kit and very enjoyable so far. Very pleased with the Barracuda seat - although it was one of the 'old' batch so is a little narrow. The kit seat cushion needs a little trimming to fit.

I tried a different approach this time on the rigging and is a big improvement on earlier efforts..

Standard use of oils for the wood, and brass parts replaced with brass tubing....

Thanks

Guy

Beautiful!

Outstanding, Guy. The detail really stands out here. You've a really nice effect on the rudder pedals - how did you achieve the "toned down" look to the silver?
Cheers,
Gary

Thanks Steve, Bo & Gary

Gary, the pedals were painted black, and then just a dusting of Alclad Aluminium to achieve a toned look.

Outstanding work Guy! The wood framing and wire stiffeners are terrific, as are the cockpit floor, tank, seat, and pump!

Great start Guy, I'm particularly taken by the clean realistic finish you've achieved on the wood components. This is already shaping up to be another of your spectacular contributions!
Cheers,
Lance

Great to see you have made a start with this brilliant kit Guy and what you have achieved so far is superb. the wood colours are excellent and like you, I try to use as much real brass as possible instead of trying to paint a brass colour.

Des.

Thank you all for the kind comments

Just at that point now where the fuselage will be closed up - probably with lashings of superglue and talcum powder to hopefully stop the dreaded 'crack'.

Glass faced instruments are picked out with clear epoxy and belts to add.

Guy, that interior is absolutely magnificent work! The Panel is one of the best I've seen here, sincere compliments, that's simply top notch work all round!
Cheers,
Lance
