Thanks Chris,
Well a little more progress done today as it's been a rather wet day.
The cockpit now has seats fitted and harnesses added. The provided seat belts are overscale, I reckon scaling out at about 7-8 inches wide, so instead, I used wine bottle foil painted in a buff colour, and then added some buckles from an old etch seat. The harnesses pass through the A-Frame and join behind it, attaching to a wire tensioner cable which I have used stretched sprue to replicate.
Also added the etch control horns to the tailplane and rudder, but didn't use the wing leading edge strakes as these were a little too flimsy. So I used some 10 thou card cut to size/shape and lightly sanded to get correct thickness.
The engine got its exhaust stub, and the undersides a scratch built venturi tube.
A little painting of these details will be next when fully dry, and then onto the final leg.
Thanks for looking,
Kevin
