Ya , don't think I will quit my day job just yet there guys ...but thanks ! :)

Rick , I thought you would like the white glue for the turnbuckles .

Frank , thanks for sharing the photo . There are a few things which need to be corrected with the engine , but this would be a huge undertaking .


Okay this is from the weekend but was waiting for paint to dry . Rear cockpit panel is now weathered . Seat is ready to go now minis the seatbelts . Still have to but the buggers together . Not overly please with how the seat cushion turned out , but not bad for a first crack at it . Engine has its base colors on and ready for further detail painting and weathering .

Hi Terri
Fabulous work on a strenuously cool little plane. Looking forward to it being painted in an equally cool scheme - good choice there. This log has my eye.

Best

Your engine is looking good, Terri.  Just using what comes out of the box and doing what you can with it can be a worthy challenge.  (I usually succumb to making modifications - can't build anything OOB)   ::)

Thanks Rick for the kind comments ,  the seat is far from perfect  ;)  it has some flat areas to it . Next one I'll try and do will be a little more on the bumpy side - wavy side to the surface  .

Spent all day in front of the bench yesterday and it was eventful . Had my coffee , good tunes playing and got lost to the time . Here is my efforts and where the build stands .
