Recovery from my hip replacement surgery is going very well.  I've been able to put in some bench time on my Taube and have nearly completed the cockpit interior.  Next on the agenda is to assemble and install the HGW seat belts. 











Cheers,
Eric

Hi Eric,

good to hear that your healing is proceeding well! Great work on the cockpit. Especially the instrument board is awsome. The wiring and the control cables look impressive and as I now right now, take a lot of time and patience...

Cheers, Dirk

Brief update.  The lovely HGW seat belts have been installed.  They are fiddly and time consuming to assemble but IMHO are a significant improvement over the kit's PE parts so are worth the effort.

Coming along just beautifully Eric, nice wood, exceptional detail and rigging, and just the epitome of a crisp clean Build. My compliments on a great start to an exceptional Build.

Brilliant work as always! Gives me a higher bar to aim for. Good news on your recovery. My modeling mojo has fled since my cancer diagnosis. Sold the Felixstowe and bought a Spyderco knife. Still have the Taube though. Plan to get started some day. I am enjoying watching your progress.

Thank you for all the kind words!

Just completed and installed the Argus engine which is a great little model unto itself.  Unfortunately, even with the cowl covers left off, much of the detail visible here will be hidden in the finished model.  But that's why we take plenty of WIP pics!  :)

I hope you put gas in the tank so the engine runs.  It’s pretty impressive
