| Started the project by duplicating the instruments. The ones you see here are left overs from the PT-17 model. |

| Good evening guys. The S.E. 5 is still coming along. My little "friend" Mr. OCD kicked in and I wound up duplicating the instruments exactly as those of the real aircraft on display at the Royal Air Force Museum.... At first glance, the S.E. 5 appears to be a simple, boxy, biplane until one gets up close and personal. I understand now, why the folks at "The Vintage Aviator" website bemoaned their first project being this plane. |

| The cockpit coaming area is slightly higher than the forward fuselage outline. Really not that noticeable. Will cover from the large ring to the 2nd former so as to reduce the downward slant to more realistically reflect the true outline . That's it for today. Eyeballs need break |
