Awesome interior work Mike! Love the crispness of the panel and dials, and the frame rigging is awesome!

Hi all,
The cockpit side frame tops with 'Aviattic' lozenge applied - tricky to apply but I think worth it,

Hi all,
The first cockpit is nearing completion.
I still have to fit the instrument panel, compass, tachometer, shoulder harness and engine bearer frames.
Also finish rigging the various control lines and the hand throttle and gun trigger cables,

That office space looks great, but a spider got to it

. All kidding aside, really like what you have done.

Hi all,
The first Fokker D.VII cockpit is complete now and fitted into the fuselage.
I've added detail, such as instrument cables, grease pump and fuel pressurization pump pipes, under floor cross bracing, engine control rods etc.
I still have to finish it by adding the pilots shoulder harness, which will be attached to the seat mounting frame through the additional linen 'wind break' behind the pilots head,
