Very nice work so far, well done! I will be following with great interest.

One remark to the wood - I am not an expert for italian planes, but as far as my knowledge goes, the fuselage of the Macchi M5 was covered in mahogany. So the wood tone might be too light. Of course I do not know if this is the final stage. ;)

Cheers

Well I finally wasnt helping In-laws move, seeing my granddaughter for the first time or anything else that seems to suck the hours out of a day. Not that any are bad uses of time, but sheesh its hard to find time to build.

Anyway I finished the cockpit - Darkened the wood and put all the various bits in
Cockpit before fitting. The wires of the joystick are to the machine guns from the triggers which I added since the stick was just a stick otherwise lol


Machine gun stocks. They don't look so shiny in real life


Fitted in the fuselage


Different view and you can see the triggers. Bit lumpy bit they are tiny really lol



Starting to close the fuselage up and of course everything disappears


Off to bed before I screw something up
