Slides right in like a drawer. I glued the fuselage halfs together so I could do all the body work on it without damaging the cockpit. Test fitted it ALOT before I glued the half together.
Adding some details with some more paint and yet to install the gauges in back of the panels. They're on a clear plastic sheet and very tiny. I think the old eyeballs need a break so I'm setting it aside for a while. Started re scribing all the panel lines and panel covers. Not much to do on the top or the fuselage but lots on the undersides of the wings. Kind of tedious but worth it in the end.
Teeny tiny BMW 801s. I was going to ad some plug wires but they won't be seen behind the cooling fan. The kit has two different engine choices. Radial or inline but has no cooling fans for the radial. Fortunately the PE set has them.
