Excellent star on the cockpit, K!  You're making me want to start on mine.  Such a nice kit.
Cheers,
Bud

nice woodgrain effect and excellent job on the wing decals? everything looks great except 1 thing.there wouldnt be rigging inside the fuselage side walls. the fuselage of this plane is wood frame with plywood skin. they only did crossed rigging on fabric covered portions of great war aircraft.

Hello,
Yes, rigging in the cocpit might be my mistake. Unfortunately fuslage is closed and not able to change it.
Some work on dashboard was  last stage on interior assembly. This thing is so small that could not find any representative decals in my stash. Finally used some from Fokker E.V , put some SOL and drop of transparent acrylic paint.
Here you have some photos:

I have decided to differ little bit the fuselage panels in case of paint tone, do Uschi decals and put some filters (if needed) before final oil paint






Let's see the results..

Love the control panel it looks like a nice curly birdseye  maple varnished wood.like the dash veneer on a classic jaguar or something like that.

Hi,

looks good so far. :D
You also used Uschis decals?
I'm curious how it looks then on your plane.

Kindly regards
