Been working on some scalish details for inside the canopy area. The pilots armour plate headrest has a bracket that goes rearward to another vertical bracket. Been trying to replicate that.
The piece of 20mm x 3mm aluminium flat I am using is too wide and too thick, not to mention heavy but is useful to work this stuff out. I may try to use some plastic sheet I have which is about 0.5mm thick, clamp the side and heat then roll the edges like the full size has, that will add strength.
Or I may try to find some 15mm x 1mm flat ally bar that would work too.
All concepts in my head at the moment.

Got myself a new warbird, a blackhorse Typhoon, only small but fully decked out and will be a fun simple warbird to trot out. Pick that up today.

After all of that it was time for a rest and coffee.
