Lucky there are pictures!

Got some of the cockpit assembled and scraped off the raised detail on the consoles, the strange thing with silver grey plastic is it still leaves a sort of shadow imprint in the plastic.
So far there has been LOTS of dry fitting and testing of how parts go together, as it appears to me that if something is not done right it will affect something somewhere else.
Now, at this stage I'm not opening up fuselage panels so it's immediately apparent there are 'extras' that simply wont be seen regardless, so I think some parts are rather pointless, look great when done before things are closed up, but pointless just the same....(just my opinion of course) Superdetail freaks can have a field day thats for sure!
Now the fuel cells are a case in point absolutely not necessary, there is no opening for you to see them unless you remove the lower panels.
So some parts have simply been put in place without any further attention, battery box behind the pilots seat, the tank in the rear fuselage and the fuel cells....

May be they are considering to issue soon or later a new kit with half of the fuselage molded in transparent plastic? That would be nice!
