Many thanks for kind words to all.

Next part were seats. GSI paint shaded with various oils. I replaced photoetched rings on seatbelts with scratched from wire.

... and two more. Seatbelts will receive some weathering later.

WnW are almost perfect. I found two circular covers not to be circular. First one was on fuselage. Removed and recreated with styrene sheet.

** Spoiler warning ** The other was on engine cover, will be shown later on.

Nice progress and a great looking plane.

Although I understand that this one is already finished I do like seeing your processes unfold!

With some more weathering attempts. And throttle control added to engine and connected to throttle lever in cockpit

   Your attention to detail and finishing results are exquisite work all round, and like the others here I'm enjoying the experience of watching your progression in "compressed" time! The worn wood is brilliantly done and very realistic, very impressive already!
Cheers,

The interior and engine look fantastic in place. The subtle shading is perfect!
