Many thanks for following the build and leaving such nice comments, Gregory and Gazza, glad to have you on board!

Today I started working on the interior. I made a drawing of the cockpit sides in scale:



Then I fixated the drawing to a piece of aluminium with Tamiya tape, to keep it stable and prevent it from crooking:




Afterwards I started glueing evergreen profiles cut to the desired length to the respective spots with small drops of CA. Then I glued the joints with Tamiya extra thin to weld them together. At the end I got this:




Now the parts have been soaked in debonder, which should dissolve the CA and loosen the parts from the paper. Will see tomorrow, how it works out.

Cheers

The wings are looking awesome Ondra! Your method for creating the side frames is extremely creative!

Many thanks for your support, krow and Rick!

I am glad to say the method with dissolving CA has worked, the parts separated from the paper without any problem.

Today I made a fit test using white glue and for the first attempt it is acceptable.




Next up are some parts for the cockpit (seat, gas tank, dashboard etc.)

Cheers

Many thanks, dear friend, I really appreciate you following the build!

I want to make sure that my drawings are correct and that all interior parts will fit in, therefore I started working on the main components.

First is the seat, in Camel's case wicker seat. I decided to use a very fine mesh I got years ago from a friend of mine.



Assembly was not as easy as I would have hoped, but eventually I got an acceptable result.




This what the seat and tank look like in the interior (not glued), so far so good.




Cheers

Ondra

Even considering an interior in 1/144!  I'm totally blown away.  That wicker seat is beautiful!

It's excellent progress on that 1/72 Camel. However, what I really want to know... Are your hands really that huge, or did you Photoshop that???

Outstanding work, Ondra. The Seat is the best. I am always impressed, when you start a new build. Would love to see what you can do with a kit in lager scale. Probably it could fly.
Bye,

Rick, Andreas, Gazza, Jeff, Ian and Manni, thank you very much for your nice comments and for following the build!

Today I was mainly playing around with small parts for the cockpit, I will add a few details to the machine guns and make the rudder pedals tomorrow. Today my hands are shaky already. :)








Cheers
