Hi all,
Sorry, but I forgot to take shots of the cockpit assembly before closing up the fuselage!!
Anyway I added the rudder and elevator control cables.
Also the cross bracing wires in the cockpit side frames, across the internal frames and on the floor panels.
The observer/gunner seat is fitted in the stowed position, as I'll be adding a figure into the rear cockpit.
I still have some weathering and detail to add, such as cockpit and engine control rods and pipes and the wireless reel wire etc.
As usual, not much can be seen once the cockpit decking panel is fitted - hey ho.

For now I'll be putting this model aside so that I can complete the Avro 'Vulcan' Mk.2  I'm building for a friends birthday next month.
Then I'll be back on the Salmson,

Mike

Great job on the fuselage interior. And the engine. One more jewel in the making.

This is one of the kits that was always last to sell on retail websites. Good luck getting one of these beauties now.

Impressive work on a impressive kit! Superb as always!

A question: what is the background of the brown? color of the shutter plates of the front?
I checked the manual of my 1/48 Gaspatch kit and there is was stated, that those plates was made of aluminium.
Just as interest fro my future build of this bird :)

Cheers,
Frank
