Beautiful job on the cockpit, Adam.  Love what you did to the seat.
Cheers,
Bud

I removed cener of this part.
and I replaced it by PE part from PART ( I know that you are using PE parts from PART in yours SPAD VII  ;D)
Adam.

Thanks for the reply Adam, yes I know PART PE, and I like them a lot and always use them on my models.
So the back panel of the seat place comes as PE already with the strings on it?

Interior of the fuselage is almost ready.
Control column.


Compass was tilted parallelly to the ground because original models compass was parallel to fuselage axis.





On the right side of fuselage is oli level indicator and altimeter,  both was made by me.



I modified a little fuel and oil tank making hole for oil inlet of course on the upper cover was made additional hole.





Some pictures of cockpit.









On pictures showing cockpit isn't showing hand fuel pomp, but Rodens model have it, so I don’t know, what to do with this pomp?

Adam,
   It just keeps getting better and better. Outstanding detail and work; I may have to do another myself, Lothar's yellow is looming due to the inspiration you've provided.
Cheers,
Lance

Lance.
I choose Backers  because black, white checker painted on his plane looks like polish checker painted on our planes, but colors are different.

Adam,
  The "checkers" are not insignificant to me; the legacy of the Kosciuszko Squadron and their incredible contribution to the success of the Battle of Britain and indeed the entire conflict is a proud one, and I can understand why you'd tend towards the "checkers" scheme. I also like the scheme you've chosen for this build as the "streaked" pattern uninterrupted by over colouring is very nice indeed.
Cheers,
Lance

So your next one will be:

It is 72nd scale Elf model but WNW 32nd scale conversion should be just feasible.

One of my polish friends told me that he has problem with fixing machine guns in this model. I have Masters set.




And some pictures from montage.

Yesterday evening was fixed tail skid. This allowed to to glue fuselage.
I installed control cables for rudder and elevator.





Next halves of fuselage was glued.  ;D

Now I can see how big is my model.  ;D
