Scale 50% Dalotel 165

stab tip sheeting over the foam shape, one at a time lol.. Also making the throttle lever from round wood dowel, who says you can't turn wood on a metal lathe

bending 1/32 plywood, is not the easiest to do, so I'm trying windex with amonia, no glue yet will just let it sit overnight hopefully it will retain its shape

working on the seats today, but still a lot of work to get the upholstery maybe I should buy a sewing machine

Good stuff Roger. Goooood stuff. You are an incredibly talented man. Jus' sayin'.

rear seat pretty well fitted, no upholstery but this will come a bit later, at the same time working on stab tips, and getting there.
Although I am building this airplane from the original drawings, a lot of the scale details I am trying to replicate would be impossible without pictures of the original and Ray owner of the original airplane has been absolutely awesome in helping with plenty of pictures he sends me, that is a great help so thank you Ray
