Hi all,
I think that's about it for the cockpit.

‘Barracuda Studios’ Wicker Seat and cushion (BR32332).
‘HGW Models’ Sopwith Camel seat belts (132590).
Copper micro-tubes for fuel supply to engine, main and auxiliary fuel tanks, fuel contents indicator and fuel tank pressurization.
Brass micro-tubes for a pipe 4-way union, pipe connectors and fuel filter.
Lead wire for gun trigger cables and engine ‘blip’ switch.
Rigging wires with turnbuckles for cockpit side frame, under shield and floor bracing.
Flight control cables with turnbuckles for Ailerons, rudder, elevator and tail skid.
Micro-tube for throttle control linkage.

Mike

Hi all,
The propeller is done now along with the engine and the 'Vickers' guns,

Mike,
    The old saying "the Devil's in the details" shines through on this effort, other then Barker's trademark Red Devil on the starboard Vickers you've kept him at bay with your very fine work. I'm still in awe of the cockpit detail, I've done two of these Kits and can appreciate the quality of your results in what is, to say the very least, a very small and difficult work space. Keep up the exceptional work, she's going to be a real beauty!
Cheers,
Lance

Ok now you have shown us photographs of the cockpit of a restoration job on a real aircraft, can you now put up some photos of your model?

Outstanding in every way.

Hi all,
I've moved on a bit and now have the fuselage closed up, primed and pre-shaded ready for the 'Aviattic' linen effect decals.
I've also got the two figures primed ready for painting - mechanic from Copper State Models, pilot from 'Blackdog Models',
