Hello Dave:

The engine looks great.  I like your oiled look but not overly done.  Looks like it has seen service.  The wiring and plumbing you have done add that additional interest to it.  This is going to be a great build and I look forward to watching you work it.

Best

As usual, Dave, you're off to a brilliant start!  That Puma looks like the real thing.  Very impressive work on the other small bits, as well.  You've become master of the wireless.  Can't wait to see what other goodies you add.
Cheers,
Bud

Stunning work, really like the propeller and the straps on the pedals are a great touch.

Looking forward to more eye popping updates.

Hello Dave:

I like how the nail heads are emphasized in the flooring.  Really a nice touch as are the twin cables!  Good show!

Stunning work in the pit, as usual, mate!  Those rudder pedal straps are a treat.
Cheers,

Really nice work Dave,

Keep it up.

Have you decided what colour scheme you will finish it in?

I had the chance to inspect the real thing in le Musee de l'air at Paris ,yesterday afternoon.

I am following your progress closely as this will be my next build.

Best wishes,

DiD

Hello Dave,

This is the beginning of a magnificent interior. Your woodgrain is extra! Control cables even more. Well done!

Kind regards
