Dfell | Sterling Albatross DII-A | Build | 27-Apr-14 09:26 | | Views : 672 | Trial fit. The 'wooden ' handle of the magneto starter is a blob of super glue. Some dials and a Quadrant lever. There is a something or other cut off switch - guess it must be under the seat :) |
Dfell | Sterling Albatross DII-A | Build | 27-Apr-14 09:19 | | Views : 700 | Control column with rudder bar. Straps made from cable ties and paper painted brown wrapped around bar to simulate leather binding. |
Dfell | Sterling Albatross DII-A | Build | 27-Apr-14 09:17 | | Views : 626 | Control column with accelerator lever and gun triggers |
Dfell | Sterling Albatross DII-A | Build | 27-Apr-14 09:16 | | Views : 638 | some scrap balsa wood vainly attempting to look like a leather seat |
Dfell | Sterling Albatross DII-A | Build | 04-Apr-14 10:38 | | Views : 711 | All boarded up. Not perfect as will be covering again with a thin wood veneer. Anyway that's my excuse. Also hoping the veneer will work especially over some awkward curves. |
Dfell | Sterling Albatross DII-A | Build | 04-Apr-14 10:36 | | Views : 590 | One seat. Hopefully to scale - as I had no size information based the width on the chair I happened to be sitting on. Approx 18 in wide.... :) |
