Hi Guy,

Brilliant Guy - always worth opening one of your build posts - visually: It just pushes all my buttons.

Absolutely Beezer!

Guy, the control stick is flipping amazing!  Stunning stuff.  Your Alby is going
to be brilliant if the interior is any indication.  Thanks for the inspiration my
friend.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Beautiful work, Guy. I agree that the control column is great. Are you pretty precise with your washes or is there some other sort of alchemy at work?

A very fine interior. I like the colour tones, very convincing.

Thanks again  ;)

I should be able to get her closed up today - then the fun part can start - wood!  ;D

I'll post another picture or two before she's glued..

Are you pretty precise with your washes or is there some other sort of alchemy at work?

Nothing special Lindsay, just a pin wash, leave for an hour, then clean up with a cotton bud   ;)

Last interior shots I promise.. ???

The engine bearers are a tricky little subsection that needs to be right to fit snugly - I took quite a long time over this - nothing worse than going to all the effort only to find the blooming fuselage doesn't fit..





Night all,

Guy
