I look forward to your updates Dan. Eye candy indeed! What are you using for references?
I have an uncovered WNW SE5a planned and I have taken some interior shots of the TVAL reproduction SE5a aircraft (with limited access as all panels were in place).
Don't want to hijack your thread so will only post a couple of images





Album is here:

Wow Dan! I feel that I'm just running out of superlatives in relation to this project - certainly in English , so I might need to resort to French!

Best wishes
Nigel

Dan, 

   Following your progress here is an incredible experience, modelling just doesn't get any better. So many ideas that can be carried over to our own projects and the sheer inspiration of absolutely top notch work. Thanks for sharing all of this with us, and keep the updates coming.
Cheers

Thank you very much friends! I am truly touched by your kind words ... This is very nice and extremely motivating!

Tonight empty case chute. Not very easy to perform and not easy to photograph!







Alone...



Thank you very much again, Dan.
