Main planes were filled last night, awaiting sanding.

Cockpit in (slow) progress:

Rudder pedals and (whatever it is) framing underneath them assembled, in accordance with photos of original cockpits. Footstraps were buckled by hand

Note: seat looks good to the naked eye, but crap in the zoom photos. Will be tidied up more accordingly, and footstraps finished properly when glue attaching the rudder pedals is fully set.

 

[A4K]

Just looking at pics, I notice I need to file a little off the top of the left rudder pedal if possible.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

The little bits that make it good, nice detail.

 

[fubar57]

Agreed

 

[A4K]

Cheers Vic and Geo. Yeah, even though it's 1:72, it's starting to look like the real thing

Good work Evan. The framing under the pedals represents the mechanism to actuate the rudder cables.

 

[A4K]

I figured that, cheers Andy.

Just rereading today, and my post 113 sounds a little corny. Just so happy to see it coming together!

That would look good in 1/32nd scale Evan, so for 1/72nd scale, it's bl**dy brilliant !!

 

[A4K]

Cheers Terry. Most credit goes to Aires and Eduard though!

 

[Airframes]

Maybe, but they didn't stick them in place !
