thank you, gents...

here a little upgrading. actually, I have such a number of concerns on this model, it would take an encyclopedia dedicated to unravel a bit the hank ... but pull ahead .

I got to the testing of the cockpit with dry components almost completed as preventive painting.
8126


the front side of the fire wall with oil tank (I think) ...
8131

and the engine with sparks & ignition on .
8129

all wasted work , since will be buried within the nacelle, but that we want to do ' .... is stronger than me!
8137

and here's what we'll see in the fuselage closed ...
8133

whereas there will be some instruments (which I have to invent ) I would say that it's okay ..
8135

but , for example, the shoulder straps , where they stick ?
8136

doubts, doubts...

Looking better and better Paolo!  Great job on the cockpit!

Cheers,

Excellent work. The coiled ignition leads are a nice touch. Were these aircraft equipped with shoulder straps?

Hello Paolo:

Inspiring work considering this kit is not one of Rodens best.  You are doing a fanstastic job on and I will be looking forward to your next update.  I like your work on the engine, the plug wires are really neat with the little curly cues.  I think the seat belts were just lap belts that attached at the floor and then up and over the sides of the seat.

Best

Mark

I'm pretty sure Mark is correct, the seat belt was just a lap belt. The cockpit looks very neat as does the engine.

Nice engine. I like your anvil, too

[Jacek]

Nice engine and the cockpit.

[mc65]

eh eh, bo... that's my resident anvil!

well, thank you all very much, ok, no shoulder harenss.

little upgrading, after long working at...
placed in front pillars and the fuselage touched up with all colors, ready to close the fuselage. so far nothing strange.
8150

also prepared the prop into two tones + oil. I'm not convinced at all with the result ... I think tomorrow I'll started again from the primer on.
8153

added ball and altimeter, pure gyzmos...
8154

also by gyzmo the home-made belts. now missing some wiring and tubes, but I'll put them when glued in the fuselage, so far it is too delicate to handle.
8158

et voila, glued the fuselage halves. I drilled and placed copper and steel tubes where the wing will attach, so I hope to make this pairing solid and precise.
well, at least better than as is...
8161

already having the drill in hand, I made the holes for the buckles, the carriage and the uprights. I hope I have not forgotten anyone...
8163

and that's it for today...
cheers, p.

Very nice work on the inside of the fuselage sides, the propeller looks excellent, you did a great job with it, and the rest of the build is looking super, well done so far.
