Terri, I would call that a big progress! Beautiful enhancements and painting. Really pity, that many things will be hidden between three wings and a fuselage.
I have so many kits crying "Start me!" and this is one of them ::) ???

Cheers,
Frank

Thanks Frank  :)

True that must of the pit won't been seen once the top wing is in place , but at different angles some can be viewed  ;)

Thanks for the kind comment Stephen  :)

Weathering complete and wiring bracing is finished on the right side of the fuselage . Rudder bar and control column are mounted with their control wires . A seat cushion was made up with plastic card and seat belts are from the spare part box .

Next up-date I should have rest of the rigging and parts in place with the halves closed up .

A fine looking interior, Terri.  You're making good progress on this one.

Fine Terri, but please do not forget to clean the glue line on the fuselage halves!

Terri,
Looks like you have touched all the bases in the cockpit. Like I've said before, you are setting the standard
for Nieuport builds.

Here is the last look of the pit before the halves are glued together forever and ever !!! I didn't have to trim anything to get stuff to fit . All of the framing matches the other side  :o

Halves are glued up and yes Frank all of the edges are cleaned up of paint before gluing  ;) Lower wing is also glued in place and this is set aside to dry over night . Then the body work can start . All of the top mounting locations for the struts need to be filled . There are a few more details to add and sure but more on those later .
