Back to Work

Well I have been away for a while.  Holidays, computer crashes, missing supplies have all contributed to keeping me busy with other things.  I haven't done a thing on my Pfalz in months.  Fortunately the group build has been extended for a month so I have a chance of getting it done.

I started working on the cockpit.

It is amazing how well this kit is engineered.  There are many very small and very detailed parts and they all just drop together.

I am making my first try at spark plugs.

I used 0.4mm brass tube and the same line that I use for rigging.  I also used nuts from VectorCut.  I have switched to brass tube from Albion Alloys it is a very nice product.  I have installed these in the engine so one side is done.

I left the 'wires' plain thinking a copper effect would be nice, but now I think I need to blacken them.

This is it for now; more to come soon.
