Great work in 1:72 Wolf!!

I would be delighted to put together an engine like that in 1:48, never mind 1:72 - and you even did ignition wires!

The tip to use WNW instructions for a smaller scale model is very useful - for example some kits in the smaller scales don't come with rigging diagrams, whereas the WNW kits do.  Of course, we can all do our own research, too..

I am really looking forward to the surface finish on the fuselage of this model, and the seat/tank assembly looks great too.

Now that some very impressive modeling my friend. I'm truly amazed at the detail you've added to date. Keep up the excellence and keep those updates coming.

Just a minor update: I primed the fuselage interior mit Gunze yellow sand and shadowed it a little bit with Gunze Tan.


After the paint has dryed, I applied oil paint (burnt sienna and amber).
This was subsequent removed with a medium stiff flat brush until I was satisfied with the result. I think, this is the common known way to replicate wood grain with little work

Looking good! I've built some Roden kits so far, and only one Pegasus, and found the Pegasus the most challenging of them.

I started to assemble the cockpit. I started with the scratch build of a little control cabinet situated on the left side. Then, after the floor was glued into place, I added the fuel tank, the control stick and the pilots seat.

Thanks a lot, Gentlemen.

I have finished my work on detailing the cockpit. The engine is also in its place.



Before I started my work on the interior, I did some dryfitting. This revealed that there are some gaps to be expected in the cockpit area. So, before I will glue both halves together, I added some styrene sheet at the critical points. This will hopefully minimize some work later.
I also added some sheet to help bringing the engine to the right position.
