Appreciate any comments, thanks......

Control column painted and fitted, Instrument Panel in place and attached to the newly fitted forward bulkhead....and that about does it for the Cockpit assembly stage.....

I'm still amazed at the parts count for your progress so far, very nicely done too

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!! I love your instrument panel. Are you going to run control cables?

 

[Wurger]

 

[Crimea_River]

What, that's it? Pretty sparse, eh?

 

[fubar57]

Wow!!

 

[Airframes]

Beauty !
That interior has more parts than some of my kits combined !

 

[Gnomey]

Looks great so far Wayne!

Was there any data transferred between Japan and Germany about the upward firing cannons? Were the Allies aware of this kind of installation? I've always wondered if a barrage balloon type cable dropped from trailing bombers would have been an effective defence. Looking real good!!

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys, there are a LOT of parts in there....and many more still to come......

Next stage to the rear fuselage components...and on to the Engines and their assembly.

Darn. I was half expecting crank, piston and camshaft

[Crimea_River]

Wonderful.

I recently saw a build that included these. I can't remember where I saw it, scale or aircraft but when all was said and done, it was all covered up with the outer engine bits

 

[Gnomey]

Great work so far Wayne!

Parts used in the fuselage/cockpit.....100 and still a few to add...!

Darn. I was half expecting crank, piston and camshaft

I forgot to add a pic of this so went searching for a suitable image, courtesy of a review on Britmodeller site, this kit has stuff you wont see inside the engines......

 

[Wayne Little]

now onto more assembly on the first Engine......radiator ring, exhaust outlets and rear engine components.....
