Belay that last statement, I just did not look in the right place. DUH, oh our father Google came up with more cockpit photos then I knew what to do with. Oh now for color!

This looks like a nice kit. I am looking forward to this one, Don.

Good stuff Don.
I was going to say that there are quite a lot of interior and exterior details shots around, but looks like you found them !
Just realised that you're doing one from the same unit that I'll be including for one of my Do17s - KG76.
Mine will be from 9/KG 76, yellow 'D', one of those involved in the infamous low-level raid on Kenley, and crash-landed near Biggin Hill.

Always an interesting subject to see done. Sadly much of the interior work on this kit as well as many others, will go unseen but what I see so far is quite good.

Thanks guys, i,'ll be opening the weapons bay and with the green house canopy and nose, much will be viewable, but I have always enjoyed the good interiors as it lets me understand the subject.

What a nice plane for me one of the most forgotten for all I spent some time doing it to 1/32 until the one who asked me to leave the project and with it the funds, and with the cost that the project entailed was too much for me alone and why he is half-riding for when he gets funds.

I have great information on the plane if you need do not hesitate to ask.

"I have great information on the plane if you need do not hesitate to ask."

I'll be happy with any information you can give me!

OK so the Jury is still out, BUT, This is so fare one of the best engineered and fitting kits I can recall, Zevda and Tamiya come to mind. I've had to correct a couple of flubs on my end but the kit, save for the instructions, is beautiful.
Here I've taped the fuselage together to test fit. Often times when you have a lot of internal bracing and detail, it doesn't always fit. No issues here at all, Not to wide nor nor wide enough. just a nice fit.

I seem to have gotten my interment decals off on one side. Could not tell till the photo. Have to see what I can do about that.

Wings glued and taped to the fuselage. Here could be a bit of a fit issue but I think slow and steady will moke it ok.

Nice when things fit like a glove.

 

[fubar57]

If you haven't sealed the decals yet you might be able to soak them in hot water and see if they float off

 

[Wayne Little]

Nice work man...

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far!

 

[Airframes]

Nice work Don, and good to know it all fits together well. Looking forward to eventually getting mine dome.

 

[Donivanp]

Glued fuselage halves together and did a dark wash to help bring out some detail. may have been a bit heavy but it helps. I'll tone it down a bit though.

 

[fubar57]

Looking good Don

 

[Airframes]

Yep, coming together nicely.
