Well, I'm disappointed in you all. No-on spotted that between this:

and this:

the cockpit gained a linen back behind the seat. It had been bothering me, and I found a picture on the ever useful WNW site:

Fortunately, it wasn't hard to fix

Either looks great but for the record the AMC D.H.2 (Scout) spare parts booklet lists this item as "Part No. 4241... ...Back for Pilot's Cowl" and it was made from "Ash & 3 Ply". Not linen. This part is also shown as wood in the excellent article in WW1 Aero#146 from 1994.

The spare parts list also confirms "Part No. 4482... ...Flooring" was made from "3 Ply".

I'll get my paintbrush out

Richard

And thanks for the info on the floor

Arrgh... I'm going cross-eyed

That's enough threading string through tiny tubes for one night

Hi Richard,
Try 'LF Models' - they have many different props,

There certainly are a mass of wires! I have to do them one or two at a time to keep My confusion level Down

Brilliant build with all your fine additions. I like your choice of an early subject.

That's the sensible way, and I have used that before.

I really like early aeroplanes and am more drawn to those than the late war ones - the D.VII excepted

Hopefully, it won't get any worse than this!:

That's all the rigging lines attached at one end

That looks interesting. I too like the early machines - primarily because they do have lots of lovely rigging!

I do hope you give them spiders some time off before the next project .

An ol' salt like you can sort that mess out.

I was wondering if the panel behind the seat was linen covered ply? (as opposed to just linen).

Order is slowly appearing from the chaos

Indeed....amazing!
