Thanks Guys ;D!

@p9o1r1sche: The round fittings were made with an RP Tools' Punch&Die and the oval ones were etched parts form the "Controlhorns & turnbuckles" set (48-087) from Part:

Following with the cockpit details, I finished the oil and fuel tanks. My idea was to use copper from Alclad to paint both tanks but (sadly) I found that they were painted with a satin enamel paint on Pfalz built parasols... :(

For the riveting, I used HGW positive rivets.  I am not totally satisfied with them. I think they are too subtle for a 1/32 WWI model.

The tanks look absolutely fantastic to My eye! Personally I would rather have a little too subtle rivets than way overscale. JMHO,

Me too, I hope the rivets will survive a coat or two of paint

I think you will be fine with paint not hiding those wonderful details Kalt .  :)

Thanks, Kalt.
A light coat of paint and a pin wash should make the rivets visible.

Just a short update here.

I am still adding parts to the interior. This time I will focus on the seats.
Like the rest of the interior parts, I had to scratchbuilt them.  I used the photo of the uncovered fuselage in the Windsock Datafile as reference. The back seat was made with a 0.20mm plastic card and the base with 0.35mm.
I was finishing the first seat when I realized that Pfalz built machines had a different type of seat.....   So,  I had to start all over again... back to Corel and to the plastic card ::)

Here is a photo of both types of seats. Pfalz to the left and Morane Saulnier to the right of the photo.

I had the seat ready. The problem was that I need two seats and despite my best efforts, I couldn't make two identical ones so I made a couple of resin copies of the original seat. Here are the results:

More to follow....
