Well, the pilot has a determined look on his face, and that's a good start. 👍 🙂

Tail wheel is moulded in one piece with no space at all between wheel fork and wheel. To add some realism and to help with painting the wheel, I carved slightly around the wheel.
In the cockpit, which is quite bare, I added some additional dials onto window sills, some with wiring as well. At the back I added large box (it's not a junction box as those are smaller) and red hand rails. Not much will be visible but I wanted to know how difficult it is.

Wing assembly has now been glued and drying with help of three different types of clamps. I recently purchased set of Berna Multiclamps (those yellow ended thingies set on engine nacelles on the pic) as they promised lot of things that other clamps couldn't do. At the moment I am inclined to think that they are not wondertool though useful in some applications. The main difficulty with them is that the clamping arms very easily twists out alignment if clamping is not done exactly in parallel line. Not good.
