Thanks boggie. Looks like the decals are the same as mine - just that the instructional drawings don't accurately represent the actual decals as #88 covers the entire plate which WnW have you paint black so there is a black surround with a white decal in the centre - not like this in reality. Also, #67 won't physically fit if you want a gap between it and #69. In the end, I've just done the best I can - guess it isn't really that important. Just odd given WnW are usually pretty accurate with their instructions.

Anyway, onto those promised pics. Control wheel is yet to be fitted as waiting for some oils to dry, but here is the cockpit. Only addition is a replacent pipe for the spare fuel tank (original is moulded in place) and HGW belts. Painting is done with acrylics and oils....



























I also added a PE padlock from my spares to the stowage box, Ezi Line for control cables and hollowed out the throttle quadrant.

Thank you all  :)

Made a start on the Bz.IIIa engine. Not a direct drop in - will need minor fettling - but nearly a perfect fit. Upon closer examination of period photos, it appears that the spent cartridge chutes were omitted on this plane, so they will be deleted on this build too eventuially....





Just noticed that the pics are a little grainy as I forgot to change the ISO setting from when I took some low light pics  :o

The pilot sits really close to the engine.  Looking forward to seeing how it look detailed.
