Almost looking like a working boat (I said almost).The GRP instrument console has been painted; most of the instruments are installed (including a custom built boost gauge); The destroyer wheel has been modified to fit the spline steering box and awaits its leather rim cover.
Still a few holes to fill: The Log and Autopilot control heads will attach to the bulkhead; bottom right will house the stop cables, bottom left, the horn button (when I can find it - I bought a new one and put it somewhere safe!); in the middle where the Sumlog used to be, there'll be a Fairey wheel badge and I still need to build the other boost gauge (a story for another day).
If you look closely, you'll see the panel trim stuff. Looks great, but moves the console back just far enough to foul the steering wheel hub . Another mod to do.
