That must be one of the most perfectly "arranged" PE seat harness I have ever seen! Absolutely no hard / sharp folds, everything looks as they would be made od some other material than metal. The illusion is perfect!

Thank you Kari. That was the appearance that I was aiming for.

Bruce and Kenny, thank you. I can get some more visible progress in the next week here, and now start getting this to take shape finally.

No joke, sir. You really absolutely executed the cockpit so darn well. I know you had all manner of issues with missing parts, snapping parts, but the result bears no trace of any issues! Really. This is no small point. I am trying to learn how to leave behind the least amount of tracks, so to speak, when sanding, filling or gluing. I know I have improved by studying your work.

Well thank you Bruce. In this case, I was lucky enough in that where the breakage was, the repairs were not easily visible. Especially from the upper angles that will be available.

Thank you Blacksheep. Just basic simple old school techniques.
