Amazing work Gary!  What's not to love, but I really like your cockpit woodgrain,
and of course the translucent wings.  Looking forward to the next installment!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Rick and Ernie - thanks for that! Rather than use the WnW "woodgrain" decals I'll be painting my own on using oil paint. Here's the instrument panel front & back with some brass handles on the fuel selector system made with 0.5mm brass tubing. I bent and squished them into shape following a tip I'd got from Lance Carroll a few years back! They aren't positioned properly, so I'll have to do that before finalizing the cockpit installation.




Cheers,
Gary

   Really nice work on the "plumbing" and fuel selectors Gary, and the translucent wing effect is very effective. I like where you're taking this Build, she's going to be a real "stunner"! Looking forward to seeing more.
Cheers,
Lance

Instruments, switches, dials, and plumbing look great!

Great work on the cockpit continues! And as for the translucent wings I have too agree, that there is something not fully convincing in it. I usually prefer using airbrush to make the linen. My feeling is that getting the convincing and overall uniform effects with semi-transparent decals is difficult.

Coming along nicely.

Thanks so much for the positive comments to everyone! I've put together all I need before buttoning up the fuselage and had a couple of pics of the cockpit sub-assembly. Because the seatbelts bent at an awkward spot (where the spring was) I lengthened them with a bit of copper wire to make things work better.
Cheers,
Gary
