Great looking work! It'll be a fairly busy cockpit when finished.

So today I finished(except for the grips on the control column) the Roden interior. Although they don't show up in the photos control wires are present. First photo shows a test fit then I progressed to gluing it all together.

Great work. Will be interested to see the middle wing group in on the Mengnuts. Was the front cockpit attachment broken? About half seem to be turning us that way. Daz

Thanks Amigo! Here is the last from today. Elevators added to the Modified Meng F1 tail on the Roden kit. I also used the Aviattic elevator control horns.

So I lied as usual: Two More: I have used the Meng PE access hatch on the right fuselage and the Aviattic on the left for the Roden kit:
