So today's update is for My Build buddy partner Ernie.

 

Here is some shots of the new left side console in progress, it looks a lot more rough up close and magnified, but I think with a couple of small adjustments and a couple more toggle switch bases, it's going to be a nice improvement.

 

What comes in the kit, painted

New Left Console Master in progress, these will be cast in resin and installed for further detailing and painted when I sand off the existing detail from the tub.

What we want it to look like

Here is the progress so far on the structure of the forward wing spar. The round parts are where the actuator arms for the  large center main landing gear doors will connect. Lots more detail to add here but you have to build it up in layers starting with the basic structure.

Thanks for looking in on my build,

These are looking mighty good, buddy. I'd be that monkey in the pic you posted if I even attempted that.

My time is best spent supervising! :rofl:

 

Looking awesome my friend, and by gum, we might even finish a build on time!

Alrighty after many hours of tiny work I am so happy to be done with these side panels for Ernie and I. I have two more tiny sub panels with breakers on them that need to be finished up but the big ones I'm calling done. We will both add our own toggle switch's once the castings are made, should be this week, THEN I can move back into the wheel wells and go crazy with creating wiring etc.

Thanks Ern, Glad you like the way they came out. Once you paint and install them they should  look pretty snazzy =-) a few home made details on your part and you're good to go.

Thanks Peter, they were a lot of work, and they are finally " close enough"  for me to be happy with. :)  A few more little switches and levers after paint and they will be pretty neat I think.

 I'm glad you like them too.

 All the best,

 Paul
