More outstanding details here Gary.  As I look at the IP am waiting for the dials to move in the gauges.  The interior looks the business with the detail added seatbelts, the painting, all top notch work.  Like Lance, looking forward to seeing how  you manage the lozenge.

Thanks everyone for the kind feedback. Each remark is greatly appreciated!

I've put the Aviattic decals on the main wings, and need to add the rib tapes separately. It will be laborious, but I've been there before.

I've also been reminded of the amazing engineering that goes (went!) into these kits as everything lined up perfectly when all components were fitted to the cockpit interior. I know so much is not seen when all is buttoned up, but it's enjoying to put it all together.

Cheers,
Gary

 
Now I have an idea what colours to mix up for the mid-wing and fusealge painting.


This'll be buttoned up today. The fit of the components had me appreciate WnW engineering all over again.

Wow Gary!

That’s awesome  :) I haven’t made a WNW for yonks, and you kind of forget how great they really were!

It looks great with the interior and engine in place.  The lozenge application looks perfect!

That is again impressive modeling Gary!
But where the hell, or more in which museum did you find this real wing? :o

I'm at a loss for words.  That interior and engine look magnificent.

Thanks Ken - I was hoping everyone would forget what my friends are now referring to as "Spruegate"  :-[

Thanks again for the encouragement, everyone. Not much of an update here, but I'm taking my time with the fuselage while putting the Aviattic decals on the wings, and waiting for my Frisket masking paper to arrive in the mail.

I've been adding a thin layer of Mr. Surfacer to the inevitable gaps around the pilot's cockpit opening each day. This layer has been building up, and will eventually result in a smooth finish, rendering the gap indiscernible (well, that's the plan!).

Cheers,
Gary

Getting rid of seams is one of the tasks I find most frustrating. I am sure you will succeed! That interior still stands out and looks incredible.
