Nothing has changed for 2 weeks in the topic on my forum. I'm unable to do like you. Building, posting AND replying to all your numerous followers. I built this Do 18 a "Matchbox contest" and the dead line is the 16th. I will post pictures of the bird ready to fly tomorrow, just in time. Regards Bernard

Hi Tony, You have a "beau bow" now (french joke). Very fine work, as usual. Looking at your cleats, I realize that I have forgotten them on my Do 18 and that they are very visible. Bernard

Thanks a lot Tony for this long and precise answer . As I'm building a D, I'ill copy your work with 3 seats. From the picture I found and others, even if the seat of the commander was collapsible, it had a seat back (normal, it was commander seat). I have the Air International and it asked me more questions than it gave me answersr with only the support represented. Best regards Bernard

Hi, I have just read these 27 pages and have no word to qualify your work. In french, époustouflant. I found your post because I was searching "D0 18 cockpit" on Google as I have a Do 18 D project with the matchbox kit. From the informations you get from the handbücher, you gave a seat to the pilot ans a sliding jumping seat to the observer-commander on board. Do you have informatiosn about the organization of the seats depending of the types D2-3 and G ? Here is a picture found on Alamy of the Do 18 D 2 ou 3 (?) 60+E52 where the observer is obviously on a seat and the gunner seems to be seated between him and the pilot. Best regards Bernard
