Well, Mal what can I say, that looks sensational!  Love the Archer rivets and cockpit is amazing.

 

I seem to be admitting defeat before I even got much done.  The weather has been so nice here I have been busy in all my spare time down at the hangar working on my aeroplane rebuild.

 

I check in every day too see where you are at and if I can still finish in time.  Great job mate, you make me look like an amateur.

 

Cheers

Anthony

The last pic...them lighter metal parts are actualy the silver from them pens ive earlier showed, with alittle oilcolor solvent in the mix with the silver pen color...it gets smoother and self leveling so no brush strokes...it look airbrushed...

Little more done this evening....That head rest is in place....had to work on that to make it look alive, by shading with the AB and mask of surrounding area....since it is very very spars with washes....

 

also that front panel in place....maybe not 100% right...but This will do just fine and it is good enough for me...
