SUperb model and cracking job on this cockpit!

[@septiccalling8341]

Fabulous! This is gonna be a fun watch....👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you buddy, much appreciated!

[@ZinzanModelling]

Dear John, It's hard to reconcile the fact that what represented the cutting edge of aviation technology back then gave the pilot a seat that was (possibly) reminiscent of a bath chair! Having said all that, the result is magnificent so far- the woodgraining is so good that I may now use on the Corsair, (just for a bit of fun maybe)!! I will tune in on the rest of the project! Regards, Z

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Hiya Zinzan, thanks so much for watching. Right, very rudimentary! Thanks, that was my first WWI cockpit. Take care my friend

Can't wait for episode 2.I have this kit.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Excellent Stephen thanks - Episode 2 will be the finale! I basically just need to assemble and rig it. Thanks for watching.

[@stephenrose1343]

@johnalecsscalemodeling I try to collect any build information from respected modellers before I start.I thought that your step by step approach to the cockpit was very instructive. 👍

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Stephen. I do the same buddy that's a joy from the modeling community seeing how others do things. Cheers@@stephenrose1343

[@AndrewHarding-kg1iq]

Hi John, very informative and helpful video. I'm just starting on this kit which I bought when I was visiting the Shuttleworth Collection....fabulous place! When can we look forward to next installment? Thanks again for this 👍

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Hiya Andrew - thanks for watching and sorry for the delay. The fit on this kit is a dog. I'm actually really far along but I keep having to put it aside as it is quite frustrating to assemble and rig at the end. Cheers

[@goforitpainting]

Professional!

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thanks Daniel, needed a bit of fit finessing but I'm happy. Thanks for watching!

[@danmeehan1390]

The rigging looks like a rat's nest, lol. I'm sure it will look great when you're done. Looks good John

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Haha thanks Dan. Yeah, I used the wrong wire it didn't go taut. I have good stuff on the way. Cheers

[@ModelkitStuff]

Hi John, it would appear that KZbin switched my bell off!, but found this anyhow, nice start, are you using elastic rigging wire? you may fine fishing wire easier to keep taught

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Hiya Jason, yeah YT is screwy. I get notifications like the next day. I used fly tying wire, not fishing wire, but I will use EZ line from now on. The fly tying wire is sturdy, but doesn't stretch. Wrong wire for the job. Thanks for watching!

[@ModelkitStuff]

@@johnalecsscalemodeling ex wire is hard to terminate so do some practice first personally i stoped using it

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

What exactly do you use? I'll try it. @@ModelkitStuff

[@ModelkitStuff]

I use fishing line but I use turnbuckles. your best method is to make stretched sprue or buy some fine plastic rod so you can cut to length and glue in easily@@johnalecsscalemodeling

[@toboldlygosmodelworks1973]

stunning detail painting on that cockpit, it's a real shame that most of it is hidden.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

You're right James, like 90% of it. But, I might as well get my monies worth LOL and model it up. Thanks for watching.
