Migrant's cabin

Post by Migrant »

(linky to my previous workbench thread)

_______

I'm not really into detailing cockpits – in fact I hate it – but I got a bit carried away with this Airfix Roland C.II, even building an engine for it. Since it has two cockpits and side windows it might actually be visible once I close the fuselage up.

Is that a fuel tank the pilot is sitting on?

You might not be into detailing cockpits but you do a great job of it!

Very nice clean work.

Not entirely convinced that the interior is varnished wood and not light grey paint, but then as there are no survivors it's pretty hard to prove either way!

Mike,

you have outdone yourself. This going to be eye-watering. (In a good way!)
Yes, you can see quite a bit of the insides when it is closed up, and thinner windows will help. I started one of these; nearly finished, but stalled on the rigging. I am not practiced at rigging.
I look forward to seeing the end result.

cheers,

David
