Bob, Andrew, Des, Mark, Gregory and Lance,

Many thanks for your kind comments. Things have really slowed down this week, so no update in the offing: a bit of paint on the side frames and the Lewis gun magazines, plus some sanding and priming on the prop. I'm away for a few days next week, so I'll take a few components to sand and get ready for priming/painting. Maybe a small update next weekend.

Cheers, All,

Gary

Gary,

Sorry, jumping in a bit late here - looking great!

Best of luck with the rest of the build.

Regards

Excellent work all round, Gary.  As usual I've filed your technique for the seat for future reference, though my Brisfit is scheduled well down the list (until I'm more comfortable with rigging).

More, please!

I plan on an update toward the end of the upcoming week. Some additional progress has been made with the cockpit assembly: partial assembly after getting the second frame rigged. It goes together pretty well, but I drilled out the frame attachment holes a bit just to be sure the small pins in the seat rack and the ammunition boxes fit easily. More later!  8)

OK, I lied: here is a shot of where I stand now. Seatbelts (just partly painted here)  and rear canvas pockets to add, plus the rudder control wires (E-Z Line, as you can see in the photo, yet to be affixed), then I think that I can close this up and move on to the next phase. Gone tomorrow, back Friday, but I do have the wing sections and other bits and bobs with me to sand a bit and clean up while away.  :D



Ratz: just noticed a rigging wire on the left side has gone astray. I'll get him back into position this evening, once I finish packing.  ;)

Coming along brilliantly, Gary.  This cockpit will look fantastic tucked into the fuselage.
Cheers,

Wow Gary, you are just zinging along. Lovely work so far, great wood effect, nice and clean, and added details are really well done. And as a hush settles over the Gallery the bar is raised several more inches..................... Safe journey.
Cheers,
Lance :)

Lookin' good Gary! You're making great progress. Just think how much you'll get done whiling away those evening hours when you're away this week.

Oh geez, just what I need. You guys continually raising the bar as you progress. How about limiting yourselves to just razing a bar.  ;D

Cheers,

Chris

Hi, Steve,

Thx for the thumbs up. I can monitor the Forum, but can't do too much in the way of styrene-gluing until Friday!  ;D
