Step by step - Stampe SV4 building - [DGA] - 1/72

[Alcides]

Seems I've to practice more to work cyano glue. I always end with some problem or I just use a few drops when the complete tube is like a rock.

Your thread is priceless Jan.

Now the front of the plane.

The gluing tabs are replaced by homemade inner tabs.

The front part is carefully formatting.

The whole is bonded to the front of the plane.

To detail inside, I added some details from internet pictures of cockpits of Stampes , printed after reduction to the desired size.
New seat belts for inclusion in relief, parking brakes, the throttle levers, the starter Viet , emplacement for maps.

We could add trims, a aviophone, a fire extinguisher, but for what we'll see ...
Parts before bonding in the fuselage:

The picture does not give much, but it gives you an idea.
For the placement of the elements see the notice of the excellent 1:33 scale model of Renesson:

On the sidelines of the current build, a little aside;
it is possible using a photo of Stampe's engine recovered on the internet and after reduction and printing to insert it in the front of the fuselage to obtain a representation with open hood.
By superimposing several levels of cut parts, one can obtain a light 3D effect.
I'll glue the hood permanently at the end of the assembly.

For windows, you could replace them with rhodoïd but I will proceed as follows:

I cut the glass parts with a new blade 11.
Then the paper piece is
sandwiched between two pieces of tape.
It is then cut .

Then glued in place with wood glue after bending.

Wood glue is then brushed on the seals;

Thank you very much , my friends.

question:
i see you are using clear masking tape for the windows.
the other side of it is sticky, so dust don't stick to it and spoil the clearness of the windows?

by the way, you are doing a terrific job and very good explanations for the building process.
