Great start on this cool model, Ian (@firelockg). The good news about using individual decals for the instruments is that there weren't that many instruments in a WW1 cockpit. Sorry about your tendonitis. I have had tendonitis in my elbows for 30 years. At first, it would get so bad I couldn't close my hands or pick things up. My doctor told me to do exercise with light weights every day, and eventually it would get more manageable. He was right. After several years it got where the flare-ups would occur less and less. Now I rarely have a problem, but it took a long time to get to this point. Good luck.

Cockpit so far, just have to fit rigging then close it all up.

Cockpit looks fantastic, my friend @firelockg!

Excellent work on the cockpit, Ian @firelockg

Very realistic cockpit, Ian (@firelockg). It will be a shame to close it up in the fuselage.

Fuselage closed, filled and sanded, wings and tail fitted. Control surfaces on the wings and tail have had additional .5mm brass pins fitted as there is nothing to secure them except glue, you may be able to see them in the end photo.

Excellent job so far, my friend @sandbagger!
