Hi Mark, Dal, thank you for the encouragement.
I too like the darker prop - the struts will be lighter for contrast.
A little more progress, the HGW seatbelts are fitted - I have still to tighten the control lines however the floor assembly is now complete. I moved on to the instrument panel. To enable a quick job, I used a variety of thin layers of brown paint for the wood, with a few pencil lines, and several coats of Klear. The bezels and pipes are all hand painted, again as with the prop hub not perfect, but they will do. I wonder if WNW could make these panels as they are originally, ie a cut out panel with holes for instruments and then drop in the instruments individually. The compass is an example of how this could be done, as is the rear of the prop boss albeit a thicker component. I also remember the WNW LVG has inspection covers/vents on the engine cowlings that drop neatly into their locating holes.
After assembly, I noticed that the central compass appeared to be rotated 20 or 30 degrees to the left. I wondered how this was, as the locating hole and compass fitting point are a tight fit. I prised the compass off, and found that the semi-circular locating hole itself was rotated, whether this is true for the aircraft or not I do not know, however I will leave it as it is now.
