I guess it's not later yet...

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Yes it is Paul, for me anyway.

Thanks for looking in folks and for your encouraging comments.

Got a couple of things sorted today, the instrument panel is now in.

Also worked on plan 'B' (battery replacement stowage) and built myself a little packing case to house the battery which will now be part of the cabin freight. The case took about 3 hours from start to finish.

Also, again apologies for the deep shadow, pesky sun streaming in again at this late afternoon hour.

Looking awsome Vic, Really like how this is coming along!!!!

 

[Airframes]

Great work Vic, that packing case looks the bog's dollocks !!

 

[Gnomey]

Nice work so far Vic!

 

[Crimea_River]

Excellent looking IP and crate Vic!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks for the kind words my friends. I moved onto the freight engine today as well as making a start on the many harnesses/seat belt, 5 sets in all on this one. I like to shape them before painting and fitting.

Anyway, for now here is the DB 601 E, but no crate this time, just a couple of wood sleepers.

Nice detail!

It's been a long day.....

And, far too high a level of either lacquer thinner or glue or both. And, dooowwwn the rat hole we go.....

Manatees, girls, and sex.... who woulda thunk it? See rat hole comment above. I am still laughing to the point of tears though.

Vic, amazing work. I love the idea of making the battery a piece of crated cargo. Brilliant idea.

very clever idea with that battery case Vic, well executed plan too !

 

[Wayne Little]

The fine work continues....

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks again folks. Finally got the pesky seat belts/harnesses sorted today and the cockpit done. I've also done a test fit of the cabin and all is looking quite good, so I hope to get that in position tomorrow. This will depend on events as we have a full house at the moment.

 

[Crimea_River]

Man, that's looking nice Vic!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks Andy. You burning the midnight oil!

 

[Wayne Little]

Aw man....that looks real nice Vic!

 

[meatloaf109]
