So guys,
at the risk of making you sick of the Klemm, here are the last teasers of the D-EJOL cockpit.
I redid the leather of the cockpit surround, and if you look closely, you'll see a few dozen...

Howdy guys, little update here
The cockpit geometry is complete, ambient occlusion layers are in and I'm now working on weathering and patina (of which this aircraft has quite a lot!).
Oh, and the...

Hey Scotty, my dear old chap, really nice to see you around here!
Man, we havn't talked for a while.

Thanks guys!

Cockpit geometry is complete, save for a bit of cleanup and fixing to do here and there.
Textures are about to receive final touches.
One thing of note: Ambient occlusion so far is temporary,...

Placards are in.
Some little fittings TBD and we're ready to polish the textures.
Please ignore the AO artefact behind the slipball, that'll get fixed.
...

Thank you kindly, guys!
John, yes, that's the fuel transfer pump.
300 strokes to transfer 20 liters of fuel from the wing tanks to the main tank.
Elly Beinhorn flew from Berlin to Marokko with a...

It's getting crowded now in the office. Not much stuff left to do, placards, some fittings and a few nails here and there, polishing materials and next we can move on to the MSFS config blues, oh...

Thanks much, guys!
Cees, there was a Klemm L25 originally made for FS98 and ported to 2000/2002 and maybe FS2004 IIRC, but none for FSX that I'd know of.
I think Cazzie refers to our old FSX crates...

So guys, it's getting a bit more crowded in the cockpit, there are not sooo many parts missing anymore.
There is nothing to hide cables and wires behind in this box since the fuselage fairing is...

Yeah, kinda! :-)
That's while taxying the Klemm KL 25 D-EJOL back to the hangar after recording the mighty 85hp Hirth HM60 R2 aircooled inline engine and all other relevant sounds to disk.
It's...

Now guess what that is, guys:

:wiggle:

The Carpenters are almost finished in both the pilot's and copilot's compartment, now waiting for the plumbers to do their work. :-)

...

Oh, and this might begin to look familiar then:

Ah, cool, so you're a member in Eutingen!
I've been there last year in june and took a lot of photos.
Plan was to also record the engine sounds, but due to unstable weather your "Präser" wasn't...

So, now the fun part begins!
Starting with the cockpit. The exterior is mostly done modelling-wise except engine parts and a few bolts and rivets.
...

Thanks Jan!

Some more shots with the correct registration number font:

Thanks guys!

@Dangerous Beans: D-EJOL will most likely not use the configurable reg decal, being a historic aircraft. I think there'll be one or two in the package with that feature such as the...

Some shots with a bit of color, a first take on D-EJOL, our reference aircraft for this project.
Note the registration code doesn't use the correct font yet.
...and merry christmas everyone!

Thanks YoYo!
Well, the default pilots would probably look odd in this bird so we'll come up with something else, I think.

Some nose details below. Slowly working my way towards the tail. :-)
This is what's supposed to become the default factory paint.
All wooden parts receive a clear coat of lacquer while all metal...

Playing around a bit with the new PBR toys and slowly getting a handle of it, I think.
Model is not finished so you'll most likely notice some odd spots. Be kind and ignore. :-)
...

The woodworkers are mostly done.
Note there's just a basic comp and normal map yet and no weathering.

Showstopper for an official inclusion is the fact that it was originally fitted with a Siemens-Schuckert radial engine.
Our crate has an inline Hirth HM60. Anyway, this particular aircraft really...
