In the images on the first page you've attached all the cockpit interior stuff like the seat and such to some kind of rod stuck into a black thingy with holes in it..
Was curious as to how you made it stick to the rod?

At the moment I'm using some kind of sticky dough (not sure what it's called in english) to keep the parts in place when painting, but perhaps you've got something better?

Very nice work by the way, I'm very tempted to build this model myself.

For such a battered and worn bird she sure looks beautiful

Thanks for showing how you get your weathering effects. I wish I was as organized as you. Imagine printing proper labels for you Tamiya paint mixes.

WOW!

Oh, so you melt it, I thought those were wooden sticks..
I'm guessing it's easy to remove with a bit of force, but strong enough to last while painting?

I thought you were using Blu-Tack, so I bought some and it works rather well for basic paintwork, but it's not very stable and the pieces move around some.
