Hello Dave:

Per usual, outstanding work on the Instrument Panel.  Is it all kit parts or is there some kit bashing as well?  I am currently on another DVII, this time the "F", but the Snipe is next up.  I will be watching as you progress through this build.  IT looks like another "stunner" in the works.

Best

Wonderful start, Dave!  I have been waiting for your next project,
and am happy to see you are building the Snipe.  I will be following
it avidly as I will be building it in the future, using your talents as
a guide.  The instrument panel is a gorgeous taste of what's to come.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Thought I would try some raf wires for the inside of
the Snipe as they were fitted, so here's a piccy, just
a trial fit really, the ones on the wings are in the
too hard basket . . .

All the best

Dave,
   Nice work on the wires, and like you I won't even consider venturing into the wing wires with them. They look terrific, and now I have a use for them! ::)

Good idea Dave with the squashed stretched sprue, they certainly look the part. I didn't realise that they had the flat wires inside the cockpit, seems pointless really.

Good old British ingenuity. Even the Snipe I saw at the
Rememberance airshow at TVAL last weekend has them,
as per the real thing . . . So why not bung them in eh?

Have a good one Des

Squashed sprue...Dave that's a new one for me! ;D  Good thing
to file away for future use.  Thanks!
