This will be my entry. Cheers, Christian B)
The engine is now complete.
and here is a better picture of the components.
I started to build the kit cockpit but it wasn't long before I decided to upgrade.
After a good bit of fiddling and adding wires , here are the sidewalls for the cockpit
After more fiddling I managed to get the floor and seat to look the way I pictured it. The chains and the back harness were tedious to get in . The shoulder harness will be adjusted much latter .
When trying to install these pieces into the fuselage I became concerned that the top edges would not align with the fuselage properly if I assembled it according to the instructions, so I trimmed the kit parts and glued the side walls to the fuselage.
As I was checking the fit of the components I saw that the center of the wheel wells are missing a lot of parts, so I began by adding some of the structural components.
More to come. Thanks for looking .
