Time to work on the engine. See the little photoetched part under the number "1" of that euro; then see where there are placed on the engine...

...Then the parts of the cockpit were airbrushed with gloss varnish.

The leather of the cockpit is represented with a base of "Marron Brown" from Vallejo.

But I'm particularily happy with my wood effect!!! The parts are just asking for an oil wash now...

Today I've airbrushed Pébéo matt varnish, and glued the seat and some other elements of the cockpit; some decals were also placed...

Finally, some cables. I used 0.05mm stainless steel, bought on a store in USA.

First, with a compass, I measured the lenght of each one needed and placed all to see if it's OK. Than, there were painted in Chaos Black (Citadel Colors).
I will glue it with PVC glue, or Gator glue.

Very nice! The bracing cables are a work of art in themselves.

...And here is the result. I have begun to place the elements of the interior. After a "dry" fitting, I have corrected the seatbelts position, because they were a problem for the cables. Hope that all will be OK now...
