Great start on the interior Ernie.  The IP looks fantastic, well all the WNW models look fantastic! ;D

Bob:



The Third Eye Man Looks like something right out of an old R Crumb "Zap Comic"!

Looking good Ernie:  Another Pup is in my to do.  I like your work and the 1/48 turnbuckles look the business.  Like Lance, I will be getting some of these too seeing how good they look in a 1/32nd model.
Looking forward to the "Storm".

Best

Bob , Lance, Justin, James, Dave, Bo & Mark thanks
for popping by and the gracious comments.  :D
 
Bo...re Bob...whoda thunkit?  Must be an evolution thing from toiling in a
dimly-lit workshop, producing tons of teeny bug-sized eyelets.  Word has it
that in the nether-world he is affectionately known as Von Drei-Auge. ;) ;D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hi Ernie,
 The good thing about working in a dimly lit workspace is I get to polish my third eyeball regularly  :o lol

Here's a quick update guys.  Carrying on with the cockpit goodies, I got the cables
attached to the rudder bar...



...and cemented into place along with the footboards and stick...



...leaping along, I attached the opposite side-frame, ammunition winder and fuel tank.I also attached a piece
of thin copper wire to the Pulseometer and a length of 0.03mm tube to approximate the linkage to the throttle...



...next came the seat and HGW seatbelts...



...and that as they say is pretty much that, at least for the cockpit area.







There you have it, guys.  The next installment will be along before too long...I hope. ;) ;D Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Very nice indeed Ernie. I wonder if, going back a few years you could have seen yourself working to this level of detail and quality?

Best wishes

Hello dear Ernie,

I agree with Nigel, with this build you are showing great modeling skills. The interior is magnificent, the bracing splendid, color and paintwork extra nice. Well done my friend! Keep on the great work.

Kind regards

Ernie,
Your detail work and additions are excellent! Beautiful cockpit! Looking ahead to the point where I actuall finish the Snipe and Albatros, the Pup is high on my list of might be next projects. Your build is starting to tip the scales!

Nigel, Patrick, Martin & Rick, thank you so much for your kindness.

Nigel- I appreciate the generous thought, but as much as I  may have improved, there is still a long way to go. 

Rick- Keep the Pup in mind.  It really is a pleasure to build, and a sweet little aeroplane.

Cheers,
Ernie :)
