All of your detail painting and the IP are looking great! The bombs also look terrific!

Thanks Juan, your comments are most appreciated! I finally finished today's real world chores and am about to steal a few more hours with this little devil.  :)

HI Lance:

I like the chipping affect both on the floor and the bombs.  I especially like the way the bombs turned out.  The I.P. is great.  This was really an advanced airplane wasn't it?  With switch covers, bomb releases, quite the machine.  Apparently there must have been some sort of non skid material on the decking that would chip off.  You have captured that nicely with the chipping affect.  The washes highlighting the interior are a niced added touch and will certainly invite attention to that part of the model.  You are making good progress Lance and I am following along, you have a real "barn burner" here.
Mark

Thanks Mark,
    I'm not sure about the nature of the floor paint, but it makes sense there would have been a lot of wear and tear given a crew of three and two of them being "mobile". It is an amazing bird for it's day, considering less then two years earlier bombs were stored on the floor and hand launched over the side!
Cheers,
Lance

Really impressive, Lance! Between this and your Camel, your chipping is truly remarkable. Can’t wait to see more!

    I much appreciate your comments, Ian and Dan. The AK Interactive chipping liquid has proved to be great stuff, and IMHO better then the old Hairspray Technique. It is going to require a bit of practice however, as it  tends to go beyond that desired very quickly!

Lance

     I'm still plodding along on the interior and another small update is timely. The bomb release toggles added to the Aircraft Commander's front "Kanzel" required the release cables which were added using stretched sprue material.



     ...... and here a view with the fuselage side posed in place:



    I also added the top fabric strip to the spare Parabellum Magazines in the Gunner's compartment using paper thin Evergreen Sheet Styrene.



   Here's a photo with the Gunners seat installed.



    The Compass and it's support framework and the fuel system pressurization hand pump were added to the front cockpit and the Pilot's seat installed as well.







...... and here's the Instrument Panel posed on the half assembled module. The port fuselage side panel is now permanently installed to the cockpit floor. All instruments have Aeroclub bezels and the "glass" is done with numerous applications of Future acrylic floor polish.



    I've also added the extra fuel lines to the transfer pipes on top of the tank assembly and the vent pipes on the fuel caps behind the Pilot's seat, photos will be included in the next update.
   Still no major obstacles, a well engineered Kit!
Cheers,
Lance
