Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 15 Author Administrators Share Posted April 15 Working on the Seat going by reference material. You can see how the early sutton harness is attached to the seat. I love using the AK weathering pencils to get a worn look. The leather will get some more lighter areas along the edges. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 16 Author Administrators Share Posted April 16 Busy with the HGW harnesses. This usually takes me three evenings. Almost done. Just need to drape and glue the straps into position. And then seal it all in with matt varnish, followed by a wash. The drawing shows an early Sutton harness and how it was attached. No Whirlwind but probably quite similar. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 17 Author Administrators Share Posted April 17 After some matt varnish. Perfect for some additional washes and scratches. Getting close to closing the fuselage. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 18 Author Administrators Share Posted April 18 Pit as good as done. One thing missing from the Quinta set is the oxy regulator on the right sidewall. I took that of the Kitsworld set. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 23 Author Administrators Share Posted April 23 Question for Gunnar. The teardrop inlet for the radio wore that goes to the TR9D radio on the model is wrong so i deleted it. First of all it should be offset to the port side so it would fit between two stringers. And the shape is off. Looking at pics it has a flat rear and seems to have a flange. A lower inset. If that makes sense. Do you have a proper drawing or photo? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnarO Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Unfortunately, we don’t have any good photos or drawings of the antenna wire inlet. But it looks different on later planes without the wire. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted May 5 Author Administrators Share Posted May 5 Getting there. The instrument panel is now in. The rear of the hispano guns appear to be too long at the back, making them stick against the instrument panel. Might have to shorten these, but they won’t be visible anyway. Also the firewall behind the guns appears to be a little too wide. We’ll see 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
