Hello Dan,

I still can't believe this isn't a replica. This instrument panel is just amazing. It is perfection.

Kind regards
Patrick

P.S. In Belgium many people speak Dutch, French and English. I like the French language. I'am living not far from our common frontier.

Seeing as how this is an older plane, I bet all of the wiring is knob and tube. You'll have to rip it out and pay an electrician exorbitant sums to bring it up to code.  ;)

(Sorry, old house reno currently underway  ;D)

And, oh yeah: double wow

As I have said before, just incredible. The instrument panel is as close to the real thing as anyone could get, brilliant work Dan.

 :-X I'm just speechless...

About the back of the instrument panel, maybe you could write for help to the guys at TVAL. I'm sure you have already checked the pics of their replicas (just in case here is the link: http://thevintageaviator.co.nz/projects/se-5a-reproduction/se5a-walkaround) - If you show them what you are doing I'm sure they will be impressed as much as all of us and maybe they have some pics taken during the building of their replicas showing these eluding details.

Hi gentlemen and thanks!

@Nigel: It's my ultimate goal! "Meilleurs voeux" too...

@Patrick: It's not a perfection! Pics lies...

@Beto: Good idea, I'm going to try it!

Well, today plumbing, two by-pass and a clock!









As usual, parts::



But, but, markings are not here!
A friend of mine is working on Photoshop...

For some reason my work computer is finally letting me see the photos from this most incredible of builds - I'm lost for words!  Enough said.
