Here I am again. I will hardly be able to finish this kit in time, but I wanted to show you what I did for days, despite the many work commitments.
Well.
After putting the belts on the seats, I placed them inside the fuselage which I subsequently closed. So I mounted the transparent parts.
Of these, those of the main passenger compartment are incorrect. They don't have all the frames as you can see from the photo.
I therefore tried to mask everything by trying to recreate the correct structure. (covered only horizontally, later I will do it vertically).

Another thing I'm doing after reading from the maintenance manual of the real aircraft, is to fill all the wing panels, as these were all made of wood covered in canvas and therefore without any paneling.

And I also plugged the holes of the engine nacelles by lengthening them a little

And this is the aircraft I would like to represent... One of the first 506 Bs transformed into S for the Red Cross... Filmed in the port of Naples... You can see Vesuvius in the background

This subject has some peculiarities, but I'll show them to you along the way. See you soon Berny
