Superb work!

I agree, really excellent work. You can post more than one photo at a time though - save you having to make separate posts.

GOOD LORD! That is some amazing detail in that cockpit. I could never accomplish that scale of detail. Stunning!

It certainly is excellent work. How do you cut the metal by the way? I have a lot of thin aluminium (offset litho printing plates) which are ideal for this type of work, but, due to my somewhat crippled hands, I need to find an easy way to cut it accurately. (not so much the sheet, but cutting slots and curves).

It's a bit of alright isn't it!

Members, thank you for observing and the positive input, highly appreciated. More soon...
@ airframes , I use litho plate as well , from a printer many years ago..becoming scare..but have plenty for the rest of my natural life..

I use dril bits and a xcato knife ( #11) to create slots and the like.

After looking at some of the amazing detail work, I think I should just trash the ones I made and go back to drinking

Thanks for the explanation. Like you, I have a stock of light-gauge plates which will probably outlast me! I managed to 'save' a pack of unused plates from old demo stock when I left my old job (not printing, but technical specialist for a photo-manufacturing company).

Slow progress unfortunately...only rudder pedal floor board added..
But some days off from work now...more coming.
