Progress will be slow as I’m having some other builds in parallel, but I’ve done some progress.
Steering wheel was concocted from scrap wires and styrene rod. Seen also is the antenna reel which I made from suitable PE propeller bosses and a real coil of copper wire (thin but somewhat too thick for scale):
The IP was made by poling holes with a hot needle and painting. The needle hole will get a rim which simulated the instrument decently. White styrene rod was then simply put in these holes with black marks scratched with a knife to hint of details.
I could not figure out which radio was used, but I’ve assumed it was Fr m/20 - the next model was m/23 so that could also have been a possibility in 1924/25, but I doubt these machines would have been first in line to get a new radio. Anyway, I’m still unsure where to place the antenna reel - front, right, left or back?
Control wires were added, guestimate based on other models I’ve seen. There fuel tubes rubbing on the port side to the fuel tank behind the observer.
The comfy cushion for the pilot was my first attempt following the the excellent tutorial found on this site. I skipped the buttons, leaving that for 1/32 people. I’ve never been satisfied with a cushion till now, so my thanks for the guide!
The forlorn antenna reel is left to be installed, as are some radio wires.
