Thank you very much Lance, Frank, Juan and Gregory. Your comments are highly appreciated! Frank, there's luckily no competition, as I won't ever reach your level of microsoldering e. g.!

Meanwhile I made some sear belts out of Tamiya tape and some thin thread. It still needs some detail painting and some highlighting of course

On the left fuselage side I scratchbuilt a magneto switch and an oil pulsator. Additionally I tried to improve the fuel gauge by adding some clear plastic.

On the right -- OR starboard-- side I added a tachometer. I ised some evergreen plastic, some brass rod, a HGW bezel and an airscale decal for that.

So far from my side. I am still thinking about how to add the internal rigging that connects left and right side of the fuselage. Here building up an independet interior structure that is sandwiched between the fuselage halves would have been a better way...
Best regards

The bracing wires look awesome! I am sure you will solve the issue of the bracing wires connecting the two fuselage halves !

Thank you Xan, Ed, Steve and Manni!

After some more painting and shading, some touch ups and some more internal rigging I closed the fuselage halves.
To create the wire cross behind the back of the seat I attached a wire to each side of the upper frame and drilled a 0.3mm hole through the fuselage halves at the bottom. Here I inserted the wires, closed the fuselage, streched the wires and clued them by dropping in CA glue.

So far with the cockpit. Only the headrest with the cushion for the pilot's head is missing...

Oh Andreas, I see a detail, what I missed in my build - the cross wire behind the seat!
I should wait with my builds until you have build the subject - always something to learn from.

Cheers,
Frank

Excellent solution to the cross bracing! One to note for some future date when I build my Nieuport 16.
