Waiting for rigging wire..

-So in the meantime, some little other odds and ends to work on:

The 'spät früh' decal is a bit big.

Separated the words and moved them closer to each other.

Otherwise, 'früh' will be blocked by the instrument panel once that's installed..

The handle itself is a bit large and could probably benefit from being replaced with photoetch, but that's nitpicking a bit..

There are holes for the switches in the instrument panel, so why not add some switches to these?

Small, but visible, -if you know what you're looking for..

Painting the seat.

This is the base coat.

Oil streaks and wash..

Then I'll have to leave the cockpit for now and move on to the engine until the rigging thread arrives:

Uumm.. looks like they are having a bit of mold trouble with ejector pins breaking..

Easy to cut off though, -not an issue

Starting Merc 200hp engine assembly
I have chosen aircraft 'B' which needs the Mercedes D.III 200hp engine option

..update: -rigging wire arrived..  :-)
