No one looking? :huh:

I added some black paint to the interior parts!

Also the inside of the fuselage got some detail paint and a wash and some drybrushing!

Loaded some white and painted some parts while still on the sprue!

After some additional dry brushing and minor assembly, the cockpit parts looks like this!

I thought I'd add belts of some kind (tape perhaps), and while looking I found a build on Hyperscale, where the builder had cut out part of the floor.

I'm thinking of doing that too, before I continue assembling the pit!

I've also assembled the fuselage and the upper wing halves with the lower wing!

Not much assembly left before I can start preparing for paint! Looks like the seams are very nice!

Got some more done! :thumbsup:

The pit went into the fuselage nicely, with only a very minor gap at the armor behind the headrest!

I shall try and fix that!

The wings went on very easy too!

Hardly no seam at all, and if there some filling to do it's minimal! :worship:

Need to put the engine and cowling in place before I start painting!

Been trying to make an oil tank, and finally made something out of styrofoam!

I've just put it there to see how it looks!

Does it look Ok?

Engine done!

The instructions doesn't say anything about the backside, but it shows through the wheel well so I've painted it!

While I'm at it, perhaps I should add wires and stuff to the well too!
