I have just about all of the sub-assemblies done and ready to assemble.
I painted the seats and added the Quinta seatbelts. They didn't really want to wrap around the very thin seat backs and seat bottom, but a little persuasion (and super glue) got the job done. I still need to do some wear and tear on the seats tomorrow. Each of the kit seats has pins underneath that fit into the floor framework and also sets the height for the seat. I cut the pins off the kit seats and glued them into the floor. When the resin seats are done, I will glue them to the pins. I hope this will set the seat height where it should be.
I finished the engine by adding thin electrical wire for the spark plug wire, and then painted them using superglue. I did some painting and weathering and called it done.
The back of the rear instrument panel will be visible in the cockpit, so I used very thin fuse wire to represent the wires to the instruments. I had previously added thin slices of round plastic rod to represent the back of the instruments. I twisted them together and painted the back of the panel flat black.
That was about it for today, so more tomorrow. Cheers everyone and thanks for stopping by.
