Thanks, everybody for your kind words.

The interior bits are now ready for the assembly. Besides the earlier shown mods I have also added two pulleys for the aileron cables and run the elevator, rudder and tailskid controls. And the seatbelts are from HGW.











Because of the cockpit breakdown with rudder bar sitting on a separate lower wing centre piece, the only way to tension the rudder cables is to run them along the entire fuselage to the openings at the tail. I realised it late and had to lengthen them using tube bits. Now the cables are led through their holes and the assembly of the fuselage can start. And the loosely flinging rudder bar will be attached to its socket some time later, when the lower wing jumps in.

Extremely well done control rigging. Adding the pulleys was brilliant work!

As usual no detail is too small to miss your eyes. Brilliant work.

Cheers, gals and guys.

Some more progress on the assembly. Fuse halves together and the lower wing on, which allowed to mount the rudder bar.






And with the cockpit top decking, which will indeed, as some of you reported, require some filling along the seams. Pressing it home together with the ammo boxes attached and the cables for throttle control passing through the hole in the side shelf and going somewhere to the engine required some tweaking but was successful.
Now not much can be seen fromthe cockpit in photos, one has really to look into the openings.
