Excellent work so far, Martin!  All these little additions will really make this model stand out.
Cheers,
Bud

The new back cover is in the fuselage.
Today I make the exhaust pipe from copper wire and glue it to the engine.

Hello Martin:

The new positioning of the seat looks much better and when it is finished will look more realistic.  You are certainly doing a good job on this and very thorough with your additional materials.  Looking good.

Best

I'm happy that you decided to reposition the cockpit tub, it looks much better sitting higher, she is shaping up very nicely Martin.

Today I have the next updates.
The engine is ready and in the fuselage.
The same with the MG.
The throttle linkage is new made with a thin steel wire and goes to the carburator.
Both fuselage halfes glue together today and must dry.

Very nice interior, Martin.  Your details are really well done, as is
the repositioned seat.  Good work!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hello Martin,

Like my dear friend Ernie said, a very nice interior and a good lift of the pilot's seat. Interesting build Martin and well done!

Kind regards
Patrick
