Here are some more progress pictures of the build, when I got back from the Congo I started to do some detail work on the engine and the engine bay, as well as scratch building the rudder pedals and joy sticks, I am going to start with the instrument panel and wiring up the engine as well as engine mounts and do some painting with primer. I added a picture of my work table to show you that I never clean during a building session, as well as my display cabinet for inspiration...

Is that the 32nd scale Z-M Skyraider I can see...?

Marc, absolutely marvelous scratchbuilding! Coming along beautifully, looks like. Great collection in your display case. like to see some of them, sometime.

Masterclass work as usual Marc. Well done. Can't wait to see it at the NATS!

Well needless to say my eye balls feel like they are on fire, this has been some tough scratch building and painting, built the instrument panel, seats and seat belts and did the best I could re producing the engine and wiring, MADNESS, I should just buy the kit in 1/48 scale. I need to finish the interior before I can move on, tedious work, but FUN... I hope you guys like it so far.

really all these works from scratch make me see how far I am from being a good modeller.

Great job
