Thanks and Welcome, Marc!
CockpitNow I'm a owner of a new veneer of the wood "Indischer Apfel" (German), which means "indian apple", but I think the wood is also called
Tineo.
It is dark red, with nearly black lines. I thought it could be used to look like mahogany, because real mahogany has openings and a structure so it can't be used for modeling in small scale.

I used the new veneer for cockpit structure, because I do not like to clean up very hard and brittle resin parts.
It is totally unclear to me if this is correct or not, but there are only some pictures of this rare bird available and no cockpit pictures at all. May be the kit manufacturer had some info, so I made it at least not more wrong.

Mounted into the fuselage, only the floor is not yet fixed. The instruments are from a Eduard set.

Soldered a control stick (the resin one was broken and a simple stick, which is may be wrong for that time) and a rudder control bar.

And all parts in place.

Since this was a British aircraft I don't like the simple kit seat and soldered a wicker seat from 3 parts of a Part set for the Camel.

After painting it tan I tried to show the structure with oil paint. At first with yellow ochre, it looked like a wicker seat with clear coat applied, but the structure was not noticeable.
So a second try with golden ochre, I think this is it. Only the edge will be painted leather.

Even fabric seat belts from HGW are mostly done, but I have to wait for the oil paint hardening to be able to close the fuselage!

Some of you may now guess the type, but with the next update I will unravel the mystery

Cheers,
Frank
