Cochrane Kit #0013
I
added decals for the floor mounted fuel gauges. The instructions
call for installing the seat after the fuselage sides were glued, but I
thought that
would be
quite difficult so I checked the fit beforehand to set the height and
installed it before closing the fuselage up. The instructions
show the radiator
face
detail on the front side but that detail should face aft. I had
to trim and reshape the lower surface of the radiator or it would have
forced a misalignment
of the radiator duct with the fuselage. More test fitting to figure that out. Nice tank and radio details.
