Finally a chance to post some updates!!

The starboard side cockpit upgrade....... was a little over zealous with the dremel as you can see, however
the frame attaches there and hides my mistake so all's good

Interior in aluminium, cockpit RAF interior green

I drilled the 'lightening' holes of the framework, maybe a little overkill considering how much isnt seen with
the fuselage halves closed up, but it adds to the authenticity i guess..

The seat support frame with the upgrade and 'lightening' holes drilled

Cockpit sides almost complete

Wow. Sometimes after looking at some of the stuff you guys do, I feel like packing all my model building stuff in a box and putting in the attic, but I do still enjoy myself, so I'll keep plugging away. All that to say that I'm simply blown away by the work you guys do.
