1/3 Scale 1913 Eastbourne Monoplane

Hi,

I recently purchased this 1/3 scale 1913 Eastbourne Monoplane at a local auction. Built by the late Dick Parshall, it was flown many years ago with a gas engine. The wingspan is 109" and the length about 66".

I plan to convert this lovely historic model to electric power so I am looking for options on dummy radial cylinders to cover my outrunner motor. I would also like to finish the cockpit as it currently has nothing so I am open to suggestions. I have only found a few photos of the full-scale Eastbourne Monoplane and the cockpit of the full scale Blackburn 1912 Monoplane but I don't know the difference between the two designs.

Feel free to offer your suggestions...thanks.
