Sounds great stephen.

My replacement engine sprue arrived today. Thanks Wingnuts!!

I was able to get in a little more progress on the interior....



I'll also be trying Radu's RAF wires on this build.


Mark

She is looking very nice Mark ! I wouldn't want to the gunner with that control column being in the way

Hi Mark:

The interior is really looking good, I espcially like the CDL and stitching.
Didn't get much done on mine, spent about 8 hours recording. Looking forward to more. It will be interesting to see what your thoughts and comments are about using the RAF wire and the attachment points. I haven't seen any in any of the builds, so yours will be a first: I have a set, but just haven't made the plunge.

Thanks Terri and Mark. This will be my first experience working with the RAF wires. I hope it goes well.........

Here are some pictures of the engine, I still have to add the decals and give it a satin finish. I've decided to model it closed up so there will be no need to wire it up.





Thanks for checking in!

Mark

Speechless....freaking awesome work Mark.

Hi Mark:

That engine is a little gem. I am sure we will see one all tricked out, personally, I like the clean look with the cowls on. Did you do anything to the carburetor intakes?

Mark

Thanks guys, the engine is a nice little kit in itself and builds nicely.

Mark- I used the shorter of the two intake pipes, I remember you saying they seemed to stick up too far after the cowling was on. Hopefully it will look right.

And here is a test fit of the fuselage's main components.....................






more soon,

Mark

Hi Mark:

It looks like you have the right height for the intakes. The interior is nice, I like the rigging with the turnbuckles. Looks good.

Just for your amusment: kots is the Dutch word for vomit, (and kNots is Dutch for bonkers) i'm a bit reluctant to joins such a group with 1 of my WWI models that i'm currently workin on

Hi everyone,

Join in Jan, we are just doing this for fun. No pressure and free coffee.

I've finished up the interior and closed up the fuselage. Here are some progress pictures..................











Mark

Looking truly gorgeous. I love the way you've handled the interior.

Nice progress. I think the interior is among the best I have seen.

Hi Mark:

Really looking good. I like your wood grain, and the fabric is visible. Nice work on the engine. It is a gem.
Look forward to more.

Mark

Looks the dogs 'nads!

I'm waiting for someone to do Colonial stickers for it!

Gordon.
