Fantastic cockpit detail, did you glue the seat etc in place and spray/detail it away from the fuselage and fix it into place afterwards?

Looks a really nice kit, looking forward to seeing the completed project.

Great work, thanks for posting.

Watto. :smiling_face:

Assembled and ready for the paint job …

Yes, you’re right …
I pre-assembled and painted the seat, the instrument panel and side panels before gluing them together …
