Decided it was time to get back to the bench and, having received some bling for this, cracked open the box.
As ever with wingy things we begin in the office.   The insanity of etch, looks great under the all seeing digital camera, but the Mk1 eyeball struggles to see it with such clarity. You even get the slidey control knobs which have to be bent and passed through the panel as shown in picture 3 More as and when but a start has been made.

Small update time. Working on the bang seat. Four more staps to go and other bits and bobs. Again, the camera picks it all up and the Mk I eyeball has trouble and then....... you close it up and ask "Why did I bother?"
 But that is the fun of it I guess. Tim

Tim that looks very good indeed . As for why we bother, well I say because we can  . I have four StuG III's with scratch or AM interiors, and what can I see? Bugger all, but it was fun doing it |

Finished the office so time to close up the fuselage. All seems to be goiing well in the fit department.   One good thing is that due to the high up nature of the cockpit and the full 360 glazed canopy quite a bit of the "office" will still be visible. More soon. Tim
