Nice cockpit

That's looking great Vic. I think you nailed the green colour.

 

[fubar57]

Totally agree on the colour

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Many thanks Gents.

 

[Airframes]

Nice !

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks for taking the time to look in gents, much appreciated. Updating the cockpit, its a single unit now ready for when I want to install it. I'll be adding the gin sight later down the track.

Like I mentioned yesterday, made a start on the engine, here it is covered in whiskers.

The whiskers have been tamed and painted.

And were done.................Well almost, got to dirty it up a tad.

Now I've got to play with the wheel bays and I'm expecting a fun filled time.

I'll be adding the gin sight later down the track.

That would have some envied detail back in the day.

Very nice Vic. As far as I know, the gear box on those engines were almost always a blue-grey colour rather than silver.

Rather it was whisky.
