Great work on the interior bits, Bud! Good moves to replace/enhance the kit parts. It is going ot be a stunner, I am sure.
Thanks, Przemo!  Just trying to keep up with you, buddy!  By the way, this build has piqued my interest in post war Polish air service and the Polish-Soviet war.  Can you recommend any books on the subject?
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks, Amigo!  One of the advantages of having the WNW site to refer to is that there are excellent drawings and photos of the cockpit details.  One of the drawbacks is that one feels compelled to add the details.

Now that the pilot's cockpit is completed and in place, work progresses on the observer's office.  Karaya provide this as the bomb rack:


So I replaced it with this:






I've also begun work on the engine.  Since the top of the engine is all that will be seen, the bottom will reamain rather basic.

Bud

Your bomb rack is a wee bit better than that rectangle cube supplied with the kit. What an improvement!

Superb work on the new bomb rack Bud, what was Karaya thinking with their representation of a bomb rack  ???

Great modelling, Bud. The bomb rack looks fantastic, but I would be careful with filling it with ordnance. The aircraft in 1 EW were used exclusively for recconaissance work, no bombing was reported.

Thanks for your kind words, gentlemen!  At least no one stooped to, "nice rack".  Micheal would've.
Got the cockpit in place and the control lines run.  Everything is a very tight fit.

Too late, Przemo.  :-[ Already have it glued in place.  Oh, well.  So much for historical accuracy.


The kit provided observer's seat is way too large.  Looks like it was special ordered for Kim Kardashian.  I made a new one that is more in keeping with the average WWI aviators butt.  Also, it will fit with the bomb rack in place, whereas the other one wouldn't.


Thanks for checking in.
Cheers,
Bud

Hi Bud! This is stellar work so far! It looks very real and shows lovely tones and colours, and yeah, I do love the "Rack"!  I'm pleased it's full of bombs so we don't get confused! I'm looking forward to more, it really is taking shape...

Regards,

Marc

Looking stellar Bud, the wood colours are excellent and the fitment of the cockpit components is really looking good.
