You should do this one justice on the interior, lots of detail to play with. Wayne, check out your clear part at the arrow. Mine was too narrow and stopped me from completing mine in the first Zombie GB



 
Thanks Guys and thanks Geo for that heads up I will see what mine looks like...

Anyway, either I'm a dummy or there is something vague and/or wrong about the rear Observers Pit and all the bits that go together in there, I assembled most of the Observers Pit and no matter how I tried the whole friggin' thing just would not fit the space within the fuselage halves. After a frustrating period of time went by and no Fit result, I pulled the whole thing apart and dissected the assembly and will fit it my way....starting with the side panelling and rear decking refitted in place.
First 4 Pics are parts before full assembly together as per the instructions.
Pics 5 and 6 are side panels now attached to the side of the cockpit edge as well as the rear decking glued in place separately too.
 
That happened to me as well Wayne but I put it down to me doing something wrong. It was the reason I put the kit away for the first time. I'll go back in my first Zombie GB and see what I did
 
Good one Wayne.
I have the old and very basic Monogram kit on my display shelves that I built 20 some years ago and have been wanting to upgrade the space with the Pro Modeler kit, but every time I see it, its a bit too pricey.
 
Thanks Guys.

Ok have slapped some paint on the innards to get things rolling along, reattached the rear floor decking and the panels that simulate the ammo boxes.
Also removed all the appropriate raised detail front and back side panels and main panels in the back for the Eduard etch replacements to go in after some more paint....And added the seat in the front too...
