Hi!

According to the relative size of the seat, this seems to be a real luxury liner . Great work and I am very curious to seetheend result before long

Cheers, Skyhook

Not had much modelling time recently and since I'd got a bit bogged down with this one decided to crack open a simple build that I'd started earlier; proved to be just the ticket and although that's not quite finished I hopped back on this one to see if I can complete it for the WW1 SIG display at Old Sarum at the end of the month . . . (rocket building given my usual pace!)

Anyway I kept looking at the Barracuda seat and it just felt too small so I dug out a few others that I had in the spares box which all seemed more bulky and then I remembered some etched seats (Eduard?) Using the back and a plastic seat bottom with a bit of subtle enlargement gives me something that I'm much happier with 

A quick spray over the bits completed so far revealed more filling/sanding was needed in a few areas so that's what I've been up to over the last couple of mornings. Will post some pics when I get the chance

First up seats
Barracuda one on slats as seen in earlier pic with standard Eduard? one and new 'not so svelte' wicker one which may be coming to a triplane near you soon

A quick pic of the inspector checking out the cockpit. Plenty of details to be added, but started with floor + raised foot boards, batons/formers and some stretched sprue 'rigging' attached with varnish
The odd colour of the fuselage is a standard primer filler coat which will (hopefully) disappear later

Good to see that this one is on the move again. The new seat is certainly an improvement. Good progress - keep it up.

Thanks Stephen. Got to admit the seat was bugging me, but with the fractionally larger one it looked correct (if spacious) Up early this morning sorting out a few cockpit details which I'll paint later and then hopefully get the cockpit closed up and this bird moving forward again
