Thanks for looking in and the comments folks. Again no progress, I've been rather tied up with the SE.5 these last few days.

"Tied up" - good one. Not sure if you intended that as a pun but it didn't get past me without noticing!

[Vic Balshaw]

Many thanks for looking in folks and for the kind words.

Made a little start on the Gauntlet cockpit this arvo, detail is not good and I've nothing to tell me what the seat harness looks like so unless otherwise told different by one of you fine fellows out there, I'll be adding a full over the shoulder and lap harness.

Also had a look at the machine gun mounts inside the cockpit and decided a bit of Dremel work was called for. I've trimmed back one of the insets to within a whisker of the outer wall and the gin mechanism just fits. Will play with the other tomorrow.

Nicely done Vic, and yes, the seat harness was the normal Sutton harness.
