I love that head on view!

Thanks, Carlos! Sorta channeling your imagery ideas there with that one. Let's see how this goes!

Brilliant work.

Lyle! You’re far too kind. I do think in all things that a level of simplicity is necessary; this is just a styrene box which fits into the two molded halves well. I had to set aside recreating a precise interior but I’m looking forward to adding details and making this piece work visually when you glance inside the aircraft. The seat height is correct (it’s too low in the Revell version) and the opening is there for the control platforms. I hope that the fuel tank, flight controls, and control stick will all fit well. Making an instrument panel is the next stop in the styrene building process. Carlos was kind enough to provide some gauge decals for this so I’m going to make this more of a statement. I’m putting a cockpit photo here; it is a replica or a rebuild because it’s in flight condition, but it gives the impression of what’s important at a glance.

Tom! Thank you so much, Tom. You're too kind, too. I truly appreciate your support and how closely you follow along. I'm looking forward to moving forward on the instrument panel for this project next!

I airbrushed a paint repair to the fuse today followed with a quick spray on the propellor to create an even base color.

Looking good Bruce - that fits in well.
