I also added copper wire and a clear plastic rod for the pulsameter A35 .To bad WNW did not make this part in clear plastic !

Why did you do that? Is this a feature typical for Eindeckers (I have no clue, that's why I'm asking)?

The metal parts look very very convincing.

Hi Stefan,

There`s  a photo in the instruction booklet and you can see the glass tube on top of the pulsameter and the copper wire was easier to replace then to paint the molded one on the IP.

     Thanks ,

Marvelous work in the cockpit- the metal foil, copper wire tubing, and sight glass create lovely depth in detail. Excellent work!

Willi,
The Bare Metal Foil approach looks absolutely great and the cockpit is really getting impressive as you progress, nice work! My compliments for trying a different approach to the "burled" metal components, this may indeed be the final, and best, way of replicating that special effect.
Cheers,
Lance

Thank you for your great comments ,

   I sure hope the metal work will look good . Bare metal foil is not that  easy to work with . I am still waiting for the seat belts and the HGW PE set I ordered . So I cant put the A/C together yet . I did start on the landing gear and work on the prop .





Thanks ,

Willi
