I had some doubts about the detailing, but you are bringing it all together.  Good show!

Thank you!


The wooden support is put in place after installing the cables. Two up, two down and one running along the support.



Once everything is closed, you hardly see anything. It's dark there like in an oven ...



And in the cockpit it's the same.

Regards.

It may be hard to see but we all know it is there! Looks terrific.

Great attention to detail, as usual.

Only just seen this: what a superb set of internal details. The wooden part with the indents is particularly impressive. What a shame that much of this will not be visible.

Thank you!

That's all is stuck in the fuselage, more or less well.

The copper pipes a little big.



The little aluminum thing connected by a spring to the dashboard.



It was necessary to lengthen on each side the air intake pipe of the carburetor which crosses the passenger compartment right through:



The throttle that comes from the box is far too large and is a little near the dashboard.



I redid the white dial and its big cable which is just below so that it looks like the pictures on the dashboard (I only know that of the planes saved at the Hendon museum).
Also redo a few rods on the throttle side and under the dashboard as well as a raised floor to hide the misery.



It's still just as dark ... except with the cell phone lamp directly in the hole (of the fuselage ...).
I had redone the lifter, I applied myself but we do not see it at all. Same thing for the small oil tank behind the dashboard.
The boards to put the feet I redone are more apart than the original and the spreader of the box was no longer large enough.



If I summarize, the only parts visible and that it is possibly interesting to redo are the structure of the cabin and the cables, the gas handle (which I have not redone), the white dial and the copper pipes on the left side of the passenger compartment. For the rest it is not worth it.

Okay ... well, I'm going to close the fuselage and start the engine.

Regards.

Thank you!

Hello,

I redo the floats in 0.5mm plastic.




Those of Eduard are ugly, false and too long.
On the photo I had already cut the front to try to recover them.
And I'm not even showing you seen from above ...
