    I finished the back and cover. I let it dry and will clean windows from glue fog tomorrow or during the weekend. Meanwhile I should improve seats and instrument panel.

    Great detail, Martin (@naviatik). If I had tried that, I would have a fingerprint in a big glob of glue right in the middle of the canopy. Well done. Can't wait to see it installed.

    Martyn, sadly I have missed out on your build so far, but now I'll be strapped in and looking forward to the journey. Superb detailing so far - and I like your scribing needle! Great use of an old office tool.

    Cockpit - W. I. P.
    side panels reworked completely - still missing controls, buttons, gauges and levers, but even now they look better than box version.
    Flight control sticks reworked.
    After making small changes inside of fuselage everything gets smoothly together.

    Amazing improvements, Martin, looking far better than the kit offerings.

    This is really going well, Martin @naviatik, but I thought you said you weren't going to overdue it. You already have added a ton of extra detail, and it all looks great. I really like the stand you are using in the last two photos. Looks very useful, and the colors are cool.

    Hi Georg, thanks. We almost finished development of the stand. It is more or less ready to be available to all who want it. We are preparing pricelist and presentation now.
