Top wing done. The plans that I am working off of did not have ailerons, so had to extrapolate/interpolate/WAG them; think that I'm pretty close. The wing center section/dihederal brace took most of the day (when I wasn't shoveling snow).

Temperatures in the seventies allowed sanding and the first application of filler.

Sort of laid out how each instrument went together, starting with the brass cut out..

Each instrument has its own bezel. I used the rings purchased from an arts and crafts store.

Yep Used a magnifying glass to get the dials just right.

At first, I tried to simply cut out the instruments from those published online. Discovered they were all fuzzy and out of focus.

Punch and die on the thin brass to be used on each individual instrument.

Started the project by duplicating the instruments. The ones you see here are left overs from the PT-17 model.

Good evening guys. The S.E. 5 is still coming along. My little "friend" Mr. OCD kicked in and I wound up duplicating the instruments exactly as those of the real aircraft on display at the Royal Air Force Museum.... At first glance, the S.E. 5 appears to be a simple, boxy, biplane until one gets up close and personal. I understand now, why the folks at "The Vintage Aviator" website bemoaned their first project being this plane.
