Well, it's been awhile but here is some progress, no where near as smooth as yours Barnstormer but im still learning. |

| Thanks guys...I learn so much from all of you.. i hope it turns out right....it sure seems like it's taking me a long time to do each part but i remember some one saying it's not the destination it's the journey..... |

| Looking slick. If the spring mechanism holds the wheels in the in-wing position...why not re-engineer it so that the spring mechanism holds the wheel in the up-out position instead and then make a latch that holds the wheels in the in-wing position??? |

| Remember, when you are finished all you can do is look at it! Reaching the goal is great, but the fun in getting there is what it's all about. |

| yeah.... its taking me a month now just to do this. |

| Excellent detail. Obviously you are taking your time with this model.....and the results really show. |

| I have been trying to find some real thin metal to do that. These are some great idea's ..... thank you. |

| Jedi, This looks great. I use masking tape cut to size and folded to double thickness for belts. Seat belts are wider than shoulder harness. Thin aluminum from photo etched scrap makes belt hooks and buckles. A fine lead pencil makes stiching on belts. |

| buckle....is what i wanted to say |

| Great work on the seat by the way. |
| Barnstormer, Comment for image # 5188 | 03 Dec 07 06:19 |
| If you look at moostang51's BF 109 build he used 3/16 ribbon for seat belts and very thin plywood to carve out buckels. I used paper clips bent in the shape of an S for the buckels on my DR1 and some light canvas material from an old ammo bandolier for the belts. |
