The numbering scheme seems to be random.

Completely random!! That's a crazy numbering. And the parts of the cockpit are scattered through 6 of the 10 pages

I'm finding that, Ron. There's plenty of room for detail

Wag, the finished model is just 60X50 cms, so fortunately it won't take much space.



I found the legal deposit notice, and it states that this kit was released in 1994.



The paper is of very good quality, and the print is very nice.



Part 1 looks easy.



After 1 hour of work, this is how the cockpit looks like.



At this size there are one or two things that can be added to improve detail. This will be a good opportunity to learn new skills


I've been looking for a decent cutaway of the plane, But haven't found any. Just small images. I will have to use the pics on Vintage aviator for reference. SE.5a Walkaround | The Vintage Aviator

However, there are things that are not easily seen. Like the correct shape of the pilot seat. I feel the one from the kit is not completely accurate.

I definitely want to add some detail. Will work on that soon.

Time worked today: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour
