All the bits are painted, although there is still some touch-up to do here and there, and the Sutton harness isn't quite finished.
PICS 1 and 2 show the cockpit structure with the final levers etc added and painted. The throttle grip will be added from PVA once the cockpit is fitted into one fuselage half, and the seat harness buckles have yet to be made and added, from foil, like the belts.
PICS 3 and 4. The side walls painted and the details picked out. The lower sections have been painted dark green to create more depth, and the kit's instrument panel decal stuck to a plastic card template. I was going to attempt to make a new panel, but realised that the decals would have problems, and I also seem to have mislaid the correct sized drill bit to make the instrument holes! The notch in the top of the panel will be fitted with the gun sight mount and sight, once they're made, after painting the model.
PIC 5. The hole in the wing centre section has also been painted dark green, again to add some depth and shadow.
Next step is to finish the tidying-up, then fit the cockpit and join the fuselage halves.
Thanks again for your compliments and continued interest, and I'll get some more progress pics soon.
