That is a great start on the engines, Filip! The mouldings look really, really excellent, a lovely kit! I am very tempted... Regards, Marc

Many thanks for your kind comments my friends! Xan the picture is trully beautiful!
In the meantime I`ve received the test PE sheet. The one you`ll get with the regular model will be slightly different. Now I can focus on the cockpit`s details and the engine nacelles. The PE is rather impressive with all the rigging fixtures! The only thing I think I would add as the PE are the prop bosses.



I`ve managed to paint the woodgrain - it`s more subtle than usual. The compass is scratch built. You get one with the kit but I think it`s slightly too small. I`ll try to take better pics later. Unfortunately there are no decals for instruments` faces so since I`m pretty bad at painting them I`ve used some leftovers and Airscale`s decals.  You get the instruments` bezels as the PE parts which is very nice IMHO.
The detail I like much is the map holder - I`ve fixed some re-sized printed map.
Using the Green Stuff I`ve tried to model the padded button-leather pilot`s seat
 



The fit is outstanding - the first time ever I`ve got the sense of Tamiyagawa quality ;)
The nacelle is fitted just for the pics. In the regular mode the fitl is supposed to be even better since it has been improved.






Best regards
Filip

Your interior is looking great! The fit looks terrific and if the production version is even better it will be terrific!
