Thank you very much, Edo, Richie, Fredrik and Steve.
Edo, those HGW seat belts are in fact some kind of cloth, so I don’t do anything else but giving them a wash of oil color. I also don’t like photo etched seat belts.
Meanwhile I got the engine assembled and painted. I added wiring from lead wire.
I dirtied up the engine compartment of the fuselage
And dirtied up the engine
After glueing the engine and its wooden stringers into the right fuselage half, i dryfitted the left half, taped it and left it for drying.
I can’t finally close the fuselage, as the armament ist still missing.
But what relieved me was that the engine fit the fuselage and everything looks straight from the outside. I only had to cut away a small pipe/valve (?) at the upper front of the engine.
Next step: Schwarzlose machine guns and then glueing the fuselage halves with 2k cement.
Best regards,
Andreas
