I am hoping that it turns out better than my Caproni Vizzola F.8

So, after not doing any modelling for almost a week, I have added some detail to the bare insides of the cockpit.



A closer look at the Starboard side



And the beginnings of the floor.



And yes, it is quite small. Each yellow line is 1cm apart from its cousins.

More detailing and building a control column once I have an idea of what Italian Macchi control columns looked like at the time.

Are you going to add a set of those wonderful Italian "bondage" seat belts ?  :angel:

Trust you to call them that!

Just ordered a set from the BIG yellow H at £1.99, so I had to add a set of decals to get past the minimum postage.  :rolleyes:

The WHAT seat belts?  :-\
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

The seat belts  :rolleyes:  have arrived, and I have been performing PSR on the wings, which are cut down and reshaped from another kit. One of the wings had a seam split, so that is currently under repair while I work on the other wing. The top side of the wing is looking good, some PSR is needed for the underside now, so the next bit of work will be on the cockpit interior so that I can paint that.
