ok an update. been playing a bit with this. just cant leave well enough alone. worked on some of the thingymabobs and whachamajiggers that comprise the gadget type things in the pit. then i jumped ahead of myself and sprayed some paint. i know better but i still did it. so lets catch up shall we. first the fuel tank. painted and some wear and tear.   too much for one post i guess. 2nd part inbound soon. joe |

part 2 and then some gadgets, paint and just a start of weathering, staining, and wear and tear.     and then some more gadgets and painting in the pit. added just a bit of wear and tear for the flooring and such as well.    dont look like much but it took a while. still a ways to go on this but progress is progress. till next time. comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. joe |

Geez Joe, that scratcherising and all that inside stuff is amazing and humbling for some of us that haven't mastered that make it from nothing skill. It's still quite inspiring to see the result of the efforts though and helps to keep us striving to come close to the detail you are putting into this bird. Well done and liking the daylights out of it!

dicky i can truthfully say that i am more than a little chuffed with the kind words given through this thread. i keep looking and wondering just what pictures everyone is seeing. surly they must not be mine.
you have all been very kind.

well after a couple of productive days in the bunker i have some progress to report. first up, redo on the painted fuel tank. made it less worn out.  notice i have also put in a couple of lines. not sure if they will be seen but i figure i better do them anyway. next up was some of the little things that can get knocked off. cowl flap handle and assembly and the handle on the starboard floor.     now you will notice i have now started the seat frame. i have also constructed the seat. not much fun. lots of four letter words and such. that is for the next update though. thats it for now. all comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. joe |

well its the little things that make life go round. for models its the little things that we grind on for hours at a time. for me it just means i am doing the little things to try to button up the cockpit. first up is the throttle assembly. i came in under my estimate for pieces for this. only 12. i was thinking 18 or so.  yes that little thing is on a popsicle stick. and then a close up.  also worked on the seat and the frame. now this is a bugger and a half. took me the better part of four hours to try to fashion it. the detail on the sides are for the seat belts. the detail on the back is noticed in the pictures but cant tell you what it is. a tether of some kind goes through the loop and is attached to the lower part of the frame.     now with these two things done what do i have left? large item(s): -instrument panel -foot pedals -attach seat/frame small item(s): -rods for throttle controls -assorted wires and tubes for radio and boxes. -attach radio not sure if i have missed anything. need to take some time to study the pictures and decide. all comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. joe |

Stunning, Amazing, Outstanding, Sick, Twisted. You have far more patience than I for that kind of scratcherising. A lot smaller fingers and the eyes of an eagle just to see what you are doing too!
