[WWI] Added:Gute Leute

<<Jim, cockpit shots won't happen since the last think I did was to apply a light coat of filler-dust that I couldn't get to come off.>>
 
Now THAT is what I call a shame! My Nie 11 interior got dusty from Dremeling away the fat walls (not filler) of the fuselage but I washed it in soap & water and it came clean.
 
<<...I only added a couple of pumps, broad lap-belts from tape and sprue, a PE wicker seat ... laminated plastic fuel tank ... a bench for the observer, cross bracing, a false floor to hide the centreline seam, some control cable runs and ... the canvas that closes off the rear of the observer's cockpit, with a pouch in it. Plus some gubbins to smarten up the control panel a bit.>>
 
The word "only" makes me laugh. What more could you have possibly added? What a shame it got ruined. Makes a good arguement for taking photos as you go along, in case something happens.
