Hi Andy,

I am still in awe with the standard of your work, I think even the original designers would be amazed with the quality...

I'm staying with this build all the way to the end, no matter how long it takes...

Well, we can progress further with the cock pit now i have sorted the pilot out.

The rear bulkhead behind the pilot has now been laminated and a coat of clear varnish added, this will be sanded and another coat to finish it off.

Now, this bulkhead has a back rest attached to it for the pilots comfort. This is a simple structure, nothing flash just a piece of 3/4 ply with a built up foam pad and completely covered with leather and then attached to the rear. I made this as follows with car body filler, solatek and a piece of balsa. Painted in acrylic leather.

The seat is a basic bench arrangement that has a padded seat secured to it, I have started on this by making the Bench from a piece of scrap balsa and laminated thin ply.

Now that we have the pilot bottom half secured in place, i can now carry on with the decking that surrounds the pilot. Once this is in place i can fix the dash and add loads more scratch built instruments and gadgets. Stay tuned for some more scratching fun.
