Thank you all for the kind comments, fellas. Much appreciated. I have the rear seat and seat belts made and here is the motley collection of parts to prove it. The hammock seat across the rear has space for three people, four if they're little and one doesn't mind riding without a seat belt...

Thanks fellas. :thumbsup Let there be seats! This was an ex military aircraft so the pax seats were designed to mil spec which means they had to be able to accommodate a parachute pack, and they were also attached to the floor differently. I used the kit seats with a great amount of material...

Great job Ian. :thumbsup I wish I could get finishes like that.

Thanks for the kind comments fellas, much appreciated. Well, I decided to forget the headliner for now and concentrate on the seats. I have the cockpit pretty well finished. There are three more individual seats plus the hammock type bush seat in the back to be done. I cobbled together a...

Thanks for the comments fellas, much appreciated. Duke, hang in there buddy. :thumbsup Well I have installed the lower cabin panels, made from what else? Beverage can, of course. :bgrin I'd like to leave them that way, but I'm not calling the shots, Rich is. On a working airplane they...

Annndd on to the panel. I primed and painted the panel satin black. I then attached the three little sub panels in place, and scratched the markings on the instrument faces using a straight pin in a pin vice, then filled it with Future to represent the glass. The engine controls on the quadrant...

Thank you James. How to make a door sandwich. First, cut a piece of .015 scrap aluminum to fit the door opening, in this case the rh cockpit door, and drill and file out the window opening. This will be the door inner panel. Cut an outer panel slightly larger than the inner panel... ...And...

Thanks for the kind words fellas. I have the aircraft doors finished and am doing more work on the cockpit. Will post something this week.

Fine job Uros. :thumbsup I think I'll hold off on my 737. I've had a request to build a Bristol Freighter, the old Airfix kit of the Super Freighter that I shall modify to the standard Bristol 170.

Thanks for the comments fellas. Well, as I said last time, the flaps and flight controls would be next. I have cut away the flaps, ailerons, elevators and rudder. In fact I cut the rudder and vertical fin completely off the right hand fuselage half in order to correct the fin/rudder profile...

Fine job Ian, love that paint job. Wish mine turned out half as good.

Looks great Uros. The flaps and slats are going to look fantastic.

She's gonna be nice! :thumbsup I must watch what you do on the flaps/slats, since I may do the same on the 737 I just got. Are you going to open the reverser buckets? That is the standard seven three, so they are in the correct position. On the ones with the gravel kit the thrust reversers...

Fine start Uros. Looks like you're gonna go nuts with this one. :bgrin (Oh God, I can't believe I wrote that, it being the Christmas season and all.) :blink: I just got an early Christmas present from Oldmodels. Same as that, in 1:100 scale. Kit is one I have never heard of, M&S models. It...

Well, I had this post ready to go last night, then it disappeared into the ether, never to be seen again. Another "What are you swearing at?" moment in the Stoneboat household. I have the powerplant completed, powerplant as in engine and propeller. The kit prop is a club-like affair that...

She's absolutely perfect, Uros. :thumbsup :thumbsup

Thanks fellas. Hey Chris post a pic of that A10 with the kitchen sink on here, will ya? :thumbsup

Thanks for the kind comments guys. I don't see no Saskwatch, you been into the Kokanee, haven't ya? :bgrin Well, the floats are finished and have been set aside awaiting an airplane to attach them to. Some of this motley collection of parts will become the water rudder assembly, cobbled...

Photoshopped, but not a bad effort. This one is real though. Taken after a hefty night of chili and beer, with cabbage roll appetizers. The driver ordered everyone outside. :woohoo: We were all tone deaf so always used the body hair tolerance, with my personal preference being red. Never...

Looks fantastic Uros. Those fish just add the icing on the cupcake. :thumbsup :thumbsup For what it's worth, I don't think the water is too dark. Lakes in northern Canada are dark like that, except when you get up near the tree line, where the water is as clear as vodka. (Then there are the...
