Very good work on the cockpit Martin. I wonder if the pilots didn't get claustrophobic in it. There are a few good videos on youtube from this one.

Kind regards

Something new about the Floh.
I change many kit parts. See the instrument panel is shorten, the ignition box go to the left side. I make from plasticard a seat pad and the steering arm was cut and plastic rod glue on it.
I saw the ruder and engrave a radiator on the left wing on top and bottom. Also I make a new axle for the undercarriage.
The MG and the ammution box is inside the fuselage.
See also the engine from the rigth side, the radiator and one aileron.
I have this saw and sand from the wing.

With the engine being fully enclosed I imagine that the cockpit, and pilot, would get very hot and the fumes would also cause a problem. You are doing a great job on the model so far Martin.

Super work Martin.  Strange, but interesting aeroplane.  As Des mentioned,
I would think the fumes would make the pilot pretty uncomfortable at times.
I look forward to the next updates.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Martin,

I can you are getting close to sealing up the fuselage - your interior work has really paid off and certainly looks the part.

Oh how I wish to have this little bugger in my stash...
Looks like a very demanding kit Martin!
