    Very nice build photos!
    You will have an awesome plane with the quality of work you're doing.

    The chrome and wood sticks will really set off the finish of the cockpit.

    Heya JF,

    Read through your entire build to date. I liked your photos and descriptions of the tasks. Nice work done.

    I will be following along. All the best,
