Good start Alexis. I too do not bother with interiors that will never be seen - life is just too short and there are too many projects waiting in the pipeline!

Thanks guys !

Can relate to that guys on adding detail which will never be seen but I still enjoy the super detailing but keep that to more of my favorite aircraft .

Prze , believe you are right on the interior colour based on the WNW kit but this build is about enjoying the build and having fun with it .

Alan , yes will doing the box cover scheme .

Was able to get the fuselage glued up and is drying right now , tomorrow clean up the seems and get some progress pic's for you gents

Thanks Tim !

Bit of progress to report , inner parts are fixed in place and the halves closed up which I had to go back and split this apart to fix the instrument panel after it came loose . I had to trim the edges of the PE parts , after this it the fit like a glove . The gun ring part didn't fit all that great requiring sanding and filling . Lower wing is a hard place t sand and fill that seem . It isn't bad but not all that great either , passable after some weathering . I did have to replace the one access panel on the chin form cleaning up the seem . All rigging holes are drilled , I sometimes forget to it at this stage . Ready for the home made turn buckles . The exhaust got drilled out and the landing gear legs are pinned for added comfort . Guns barrels got replace with brass tubing .

That interior looks very nice and it's good to see the rest of it progressing pretty quickly. Looking forward to seeing more.....

Really appreciate you guys following along on this build . It is Prze , not a lot will be visible , even when viewed form the windows .

Made a bit more progress on the painting . The rib locations got masked off once the black base coat was dried followed  by a messy spotty over spray of Tamiya med blue . Tamiya white was next done in the same manor . Mixing up some Tamiya light grey , light blue and white a base coat was sprayed over . with even a lighter shade with more white added in the mix . This is the same method I used on the Hell-diver I did . Once this has dried over night the white fields need to masked off and sprayed on the wings surfaces-es

Very nice work on the core colour of this one. I was a little worried that all that preshading might show through a bit too much but you've done a great job and it looks spot on to these eyes.
