I haven't even started yet !

That floor is amazing! I can say that, because I build that Eduard Ni-17 kit already, as "Flyboys" here in the forum.

Cheers,
Frank

Thanks Frank , yes I remember your build . You did a super job on her . This is my third N-17 in this scale , but those I built out of the box ( weekend editions ) .

The floor is basically done other then control wires and a bit of rigging . This will get install once paint and such have been applied . The rear part of the control column slips on and off to easy with the painting and haven't glued this yet . I also made that wheel thing for that empty ammo belt .

Thank-you very much Rick but I can't take credit for the seat . I thought I have a spare PE one but that turned out to be false until I found this resin one in the parts bin which I think is from the Bluemax kit of the M-5 flying boat .

Terri,
It looks like you're setting the standard for Nieuport cockpits in 1/48th scale.
Very nice!

Thanks Kevin for having a peak 

I didn't do much on this today other then spray the gloss black on the engine cylinders and crank case . While this is drying for a few days there is still plenty to get me busy .

Progress is progress even if it is a small amount Terri!

You are right Rick . I have the details work out for the engine controls and started making the parts for it .

This afternoon was spent constructing the engine control panel with the glass tube for the fuel shut off will get install once painting and installing it . Knowing me I will ruin it with paint . I had to rob the mounting frame for the controls from another kit . I was cleaning up the Eduard part and ended up making a mess out of it .

Awesome Terri!

Beautiful ultra-fine additions in the cockpit, Terri... I was looking at an Eduard kit yesterday, so I have some idea of just how much extra small and refined detail you have added... Well done! Marc.

Thank Rick and Marc for the kind comments
