Good morning guys (it is 07:30 in the morning here, Saturday), i have finally finished the cockpit, i have assempled the right side of it, which was the most difficult side with most of the details there and now the next step is to glue the fuselage together. Hope you like the built so far
As for the seat belts, i have to find a way to position them on the seat so that not to hide the beautiful detailed seat.

Good morning guys, Merry Christmas to you all.
My progress is slow but steady. I assembled the fuselage, was allowed to rest in 2 weeks, i didn't want to chase ghost seams again, while I was working the wings, where i spent some time due to some fitting problems as you will see below. Finally i assembled the fuselage with the wings facing no problems at all, the fitting on this kit is 95% superb. Unfortunatelly lots of cockpit detail was lost as i closed the fuselage.
The fitting problems with the gun ports which were solved using instant glue, gel type, as a filling agent with exellent results. After the sanding, i redo all the affected rivets one by one, time consuming job but worth it.
Some detail on the radiator covers, which i choosed to depict them closed, and the G-factor landing gear which is going to be used.
Thats all for now, untill the next update,
I wish you HAPPY NEW YEAR.
