Wonderful work so far Wayne, especially the panel detail, but I think you might have the wrong type panel for a D-25. That's the type panel fitted in the D-30 and later. The earlier style was fitted in the D-28 and earlier. I attached a couple of references. Sorry for not noticing it earlier. Be ashamed not to use that beautiful panel, maybe you can say the panel was replaced due to "battle damage"

Nice work Wayne. I noticed in an in-depth build review, when this kit was first released, that it's based on a D-30, hence the 'plain' floor in the kit, so probably not a lot to be done about the instrument panel layout.
