Looks really great so far, Des -

Nice touch with the flare pistol and maps, too.

Extraordinary work on the cockpit, Des!  As impressed as I am with your paint and detail work, I'm equally impressed with your ability to keep the mating surfaces paint free.
Cheers,
Bud

The fuselage has now been closed up, the fit of the two fuselage halves was near perfect, only the slightest amount of filler was needed on the join, and there was no tightness of the fuselage interior with the fuselage halves, Wingnuts have eased up a little on their previous ultra close tolerances. The cabane struts are just sitting on the fuselage for show.

I still need to add the seat belts and the control rigging. So far I am very happy with this kit, it has been a real joy to build.

Now this is interesting for me in that you add the control rigging after the cockpit is assembled. I add them as I go, but then again, my dexterity is about as delicate as a bull in a china shop. Is there a specific reason why you wait until it's all assembled or is it just the way you do things?

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks very much for all the kind comments, much appreciated.

Chris - Adding the control rigging depends on the situation at the time, some lines I add as the build progresses while in most cases I wait until the interior is finished then I add the control lines. In most cases the control cables are quite easy to access and can be fitted with the use of tweezers and CA, but it is like all aspects of modeling, you do what is comfortable for you and what works for you.
