Gone a bit further:
Added some pipes in the engine compartment
Done some weathering on the cockpit panes. I also decided to extend them on the rear because I think that it will be visible from a certain angle.
Added some wires on the front instrument panel. they will probably not be visible but ...
The seat:
Finally I assembled the propeller
Some more will follow soon

Very nice work! So, the chains on the seat... lap belts? Really?

Very nice interior Alberto. Your seat will help me with my Itelari MC.200 Saetta when I get around to building it. Thanks.

Nice work Alberto. I'm also a little surprised at the chains for the lap belts!

Hello Terry, many thanks for your comment.
In facts is a very good question.
I installed those chains because they were supplied with the p.e. fret included in the kit and because, in my knowledge, they were a standard feature in Italian WW2 planes.
But I can be wrong as well, because this is a past WW2 bird and because the only picture I found so fare doesn't show those chains.
By the way, I'm still away from my house in Milan and I cannot check my books: I will do that when I will be back home in September.

I'm guessing, but I would have thought that by that period, a 'proper' seat harness would have been used. The photo you posted looks like a good guide, but I think that it is a more recent shot, with a 'modern' harness, just going off the overall style and materials, and the blue web strap on the 'anti-g' crotch strap. The actual harness would probably be very similar though, maybe a slightly different colour perhaps, but small detail differences would not be noticed in this scale.

Hi,
I spent some time working on the fuselage:
marked in red are scratch-built little vents I added according to instructions and photos.
next step will be to scribe new panels on both fuselage and wings.
Cheers
Alberto

I'm back in Milan since two weeks and I did some work on this project, as you can see here:
Yellow tape defines already the limits of the black anti-glare area.
Detail photos shows that I added those new panels but also that there is some more putting to be done
Cheers
Alberto
