Harvey, the belts look really good, but what about the footrests? They seem to be falling apart.

[harv]

The seat on the left, left side is skewed, but fixed now. Yes they aren't represented very well, but not much I can do about it. At least they won't be real visible (I hope). Thanks for dropping by my friend.....harv

[Martinnfb]

Harvey, just an idea. What if you cut them out and replace them with let's say brass wire that you bend to appropriate shape?  I don't mean to bug you, but they are kinda visible in there. 

[harv]

Thanks buddy. I appreciate the help. I'll think about it.time is slipping away and I have to keep fixing the little things. As you know, I'm not a fast modeler to begin with.......harv

Harvey if you take the measurements , I can make it for you. Even the whole lower brace, that way ,you can save some time and just slip it in there.

Nice job with the furniture Harv, looks good and comfy. Can't wait to see your two seater develop. Mine will stay single seater though.

Cheers Rob

[harv]

Your probably better off. I have been fighting the pit from day one. I think I got the footrests done......harv

Foot rests look great, Harv.  Now, don't forget to add the Bier und Wurstkühler aus der Luftwaffe which was carried in every machine built for more than one crew member.

You got your history lessons wrong, maybe that's why you settle for the Napoleonic era . We Germans love our beer not to chilly but the Wurst (sausage) should be warm, no need for a Wurstkühler though, but for a mustard dispenser .

got it !....I think.......harv

Just a little joke...  I figured bier and kuhler would have been a giveaway.

The seats are looking good Harv. Don't be afraid to ask for spares if you need any.

One seat done, belts and all. Hope you like it....harv

 

[GazzaS]

Looks great, Harv!

[harv]

Ok, back at it. Thanks to Jerone for a push with your excellent build ! Trying to fit the seats to side rails, but the pins are to big for them ! Cutting here and there. It will be done but at what cost ?........harv

 

[harv]

Hmmmm......harv

[GazzaS]

Nice Harv!  Glad to see you've put distraction behind you.

Rocking this baby Harv........

Good stuff Harvey, I wouldn't have the nerve to tackle that maze of broken resin.

Cheers

Nothing seems to line up. The conversion legs are narrower than the kit parts. Any ideas how to fix ?....harv

 

[harv]

Disaster struck ! Trying to fit the engine and the rear bottom broke off. Everything is so fragile.  I'm wondering if it's really needed ?.......harv
