The rpm dial is usually angled the other way so the 1000rpm is at the bottom.

Ah! no, the dial is tilted correct way so that the 1700-1800 reading is vertical, refer attached picture from another full scale.
The screws holding the dial are incorrectly installed. The screws needed to be tilted as well. But I will leave them as is

On reconsideration, my comments are not correct.
An onlooker or keenest of observers can only see the instruments when the model is at rest.

The dials are correct.
What I thought was 3500+ rpm, is actually zero, ie, engine off. (Needle the other side of the peg!)
Similarly, ASI zero, Altimeter shows airfield elevation, turn and slip at rest.
I expect you’ll find a working compass of the right size...

Your dedication inspires me to attempt something similar, even if only in 1/12 scale!
Regards

Iyer Saab unfortunately not going to find a working magnetic compass at this size. These will remain dummy with some embellishment on the stock bought out item. Should post a picture of two once the oil pressure gauge is complete and fixed on the dashboard

What’s that white rectangular item at bottom centre right?

That whitish rectangle is now painted yellow hue and that will simulate the oil pressure gauge on the panel.
On the full scale panel picture above you can see that in the dark red/brownish hue

For those who are still following the build, some good news from UK. Peter from UK who has been flitting in and out of this build log and also has helped me tremendously has completed the build of his Falcon Models Tiger Moth and has been flying it regularly. he reports that he is really pleased with the model and I am sure he is not overstating. Have a look at the videos and I am sure you all will agree that the model Peter has built has turned out beautiful and he flies it good.

The maiden flight


Subsequent flight

Completion of Peter's model was useful in prodding myself to work some more on my model. Some progress has been made.
1. The wings and tail feathers have been painted silver. I finally used Aspa Automotive enamels for painting.
2. Base coat silver is in process of being applied on the fuse before being painted red and black and all the numerals etc being masked and painted
3. The fin has had the Wyvern logo applied and the entire fin clear-coated to seal the logo.
4. The long acorns are complete with base coat silver. Next job to trim the bolts and apply top coat of red
5. The dashboard instruments are done
6. The windscreens are complete except for gluing in the clear perspex
7. The wheel covers are done
8. The outer main struts have had the end caps made in Litho and affixed. next job is to paint these end caps black. Will do so along with affixing the DH logos and then clear coat and seal the entire assembly

Here are some pictures 

The last picture here is the full scale one to show the Wyvern logo

Is Peter using Electric?

Yes, he crossed over to the occult side of the hobby some where during his build, but he did start normal   

The journey of the windscreen, made out of kit supplied 1/32 ply frames, embellished with litho and brass pieces. Sanded, sealed and painted ready to receive perspex

last one for the windscreen

Is his craft named Vodemort by any chance?

I would assume he knows 

Anyway, many congratulations Peter

Manish, you have been saving up progress on many items for todays mega posting. Good to see progress again.

Sanjay, The plane had a brand new Laser 150 in it during the first year or so of the build. However, part way through the build I swapped over completely to electric flight. It is powered by a Hyperion ZS4035 pulling 1500W, so about the same power as the Laser 150. It has had around 20 flights now and has not had to be cleaned down yet.

That's a big headache saved, I guess. Especially with such detailed scale features

@peterf,
Lovely build.
Lands like a feather.
Looks just like this one too  
Perhaps a sound card for engine sound...
Regards

@flyingboxcar,
Those metal tipped struts look just great.
Was puzzled by the clips/nuts in pic 1 of reply #358, till I realised they must be the anchors for the flying/landing wires.
But still wondering what those green bits are...

Did you say “if anyone is still watching...”? Only 117,896 views, huh?
Regards

And Rai saheb’s query went way over my head, lacking, as I do, any pottery background...

Iyer sir, yes those ironmongery are the pieces where the various bits of wires attach.
The green pieces are clevises for the wires masked in green masking tape during spraying paint so that the delicate threads don't clog up with paint 

Some more pictures
made up a tiny extinguisher with label and all
A shot of the silver base coat applied on the cowl
Few pictures of the control quadrants

Brilliant! Superb.
What is Phatic Glue: obviously an aliphatic glue, but pray, tell more

Same comment.
Same query.
I was just too shy to ask...

That's an aliphatic glue from Deluxe materials see the video below.
It's available on Flipkart and Amazon India as well. My stock was bought some time back from Singahobby when the glue was not available locally.
In terms of what it is, it's exactly the same material what was earlier used in fabric paint as fixer. i remember in late 80's fabric paint used to come as two component the dye and the fixer (basically glue) that needed to be mixed together before being applied. And the Deluxe materials super phatic when spilled on cloth is permanent. It's good stuff when you need precise application and don't want brittle cyano joints
