Here's the back seat so far, I used the photoetched pilot's seat belts from the Eduard set. Will still need some more wires and more black boxes under the radar unit but it's starting to look good.

A little further detail in the cockpit. I decided that I won't be adding the other 4 throttle levers to the front of the black panel as they will be invisible under the fabric panel that covers the instrument panel.

 

[fubar57]

Very nice looking innards

Here's the control wheel and you can see the photoetched rudder pedals in this view. I had to drill out the inside of the control wheel as Monogram made it a solid piece.

 

[fubar57]

Good stuff. Its the little things

 

[T Bolt]

Nice!

 

[Gnomey]

Lovely work so far!

Got the forward cockpit all installed in the upper wing section, still fiddling around with the radar operators position. Based on the photos I posted earlier there was some kind of rack behind the pilots seat that supported the radar set, and there were another box and round tank back there too. Here's my take on the rack and I added some extra radio gear and a small tank from the scrap box. The oxygen hose was made by wrapping thin wire around a center wire. Will be bent into position once the floor is attached.
