what i did was glue a bit of snake inner across the gap between the flaps.
held it in place with some blocks.
then cut it in half through the joint.
ran a bit of cranked piano wire through the snake and glued one end solid.

so one flap is working now, will tackle the other one tomorrow (maybe)

cowl still needs work, but it is getting there.

i am standing by to get my bum kicked, but i have fitted temporary fixed u/c to the sea fury.
the mounts are set up to take electric retracts at a later date and the legs will fit in retract units as well.

made a start on the intakes along the le of the wing.
not fully to scale (i have decided that i cant do scale without plans, as my scratch building skills are not good enough) but its the best i can do at the moment.

well between work for swmbo i did get a little bit done.

started constructing the dash.

looked at the seat.

started lining the cockpit.

The dash is not right i know, but i have not worked out how to do black dial on a black surface yet.

have painted the inside in green and once dry i can fit the dash, seat and take a look at the floor.
