Hello,

Here's a few shots of my S L O W progress of the new TBM kit. This little bit took 3 weeks, but I also am working on several other projects. The only stuff added so far are the ignition harness (from 24 gauge wire) and their attachment points (22 gauge wire insulation, stripped and cut). I also "extended" the pilot's seat harness shoulder straps with 2mm strips of copper sheet, as the PE harness provided is way too short.The pin ejector marks on the firewall(s) won't be visible after completion, so I didn't bother with them. I'll be posting updates here and on my website, http:www.scalewarbirds.com . Thanks for letting me share 'em!

Hi James

That is looking superb! I love the engine ignition harness!

I hope you're keeping notes as you go - because I'm going to be pestering you for a Review and a Feature!

Fantastic work!
