Doin' good!

I think it looks terrific,nice work on the interior details

 

[Airframes]

Nice work Bob, and I like the way the kit has provision for different styles of nose 'cheek' windows.
The interior colour looks rather more 'RAF' than US, but when it's closed up, in the shadows, this shouldn't be noticeable, and will in fact allow some detail to be seen that would otherwise be lost.
In case you decide to do another 'G' at some point, note that much of the interior on mid to late batches was left in clear-varnished bare metal, with just main structures in Interior Green or Green ZC.

nice work Bob

 

[woljags]

my only complaint with this kit so far is that the 2 fuselage halfs dont go together very well without a lot of pressure to hold it together while the glue drys

 

[Airframes]

Good progress Bob. It's possible that the fuselage joint might be due to internal fittings not fully aligning, causing it to be tighter than normal.
