Nice start. The scratched pushrods are way better than the kit ones.

I will look here often, maybe I will learn something while building a resin model.

Thank you everyone for your support.
And here more fun on this kit. The work on interior goes on. 20 Gaspatch turnbuckles armed with eyelets, a cable for aileron control from the steering wheel with turnbuckles, 20 Bobs Buckles eyelets glued into the internal truss sides, mounting holes drilled in the trusses to accept the wire bits which armed the floors and the cross bar. Flat PE rudder bar with its supporting structure and the oil pump replaced with scratch built bits. The IP film with the instrument faces glued to the base and tested with the PE front. And finally a few air bubbles in the floats filled with Evergreen circular profile inserts. Slowly but steadily forward.

In the Techmod kit there is no rudder bar and I have no ref's for this ...This helps me lots ! The details are coming along nicely

You're off to a great start Prez! I have this kit on order as well and I am following along and will be building at some time. You do stellar work and this looking to be no exception.

Nice start. I really like the wooden box/chest and the IP.

Did you use real wood for all these parts?

Thank you all.

No, the Polish boxing comes without linen or wood decals. In any case, even if they were included, I would prefer painting both.
This wood is painted - airbrushed base, brushed wood grain, airbrushed clear-orange seal
