Hi all - finally some more progress on this kit.
Firstly, I decided to display the cowls off. It was a relatively easy job to remove the cowls and thin the edges.
The fuselage halves had large sink holes smack bang in the middle that needed filling and sanding. As I had basically already built up the interior framework, I sanded off the frame work on the fuselage halves.
The cockpit supplied in the kit is well detailed and I didn't have to add anything drastic at all - I only added a few bits and pieces from the Eduard etched set and some scratchbuilding. Extra details included seat cushions made from putty, control horns and pulleys to the control column and rudder bar, triggers to the control column, trigger wires to the triggers, wiring to all of the gauges, switches and controls, and rigging of the controls from Aeroclub elastic. Seat belts came from the coloured part of the Eduard etched set, as did the gauges. Here's some pics (ok, lots of pics!) of the whole interior painted.
