As a first for me I have found that painting the seats , instrument panels and figures in 1/72 very difficult. Having only one fully functioning eye means my depth perception is totally out of whack so always put paint in the wrong place hence the somewhat amateurish attempts. All colours etc. mainly guess work and , as never having done a military model, I mixed colours using what I have. Will clearcoat tomorrow and do light washes.
Thanks for looking in.

Great effort Stefan. Everything looks good from here. I have to say that I try and avoid 1/72 stuff now and avoid pilots because I find them very difficult to paint. You've done a great job on those air crew.

That cockpit looks excellent Stefan

[Stefee]

Interior received a very light dirtying up and everything in position although both pilots feet are nowhere near the pedals. Ballast hot glued into tail just in case.
Now to join the 3 part fuselage - not looking forward to this.

[scottie3158]

That's looking great. Can you carefully cut the pedals off and move them to the feet?

Thanks. The pedals are so small I think I would break them so what will be will be.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

I think when its all buttoned up you wont see the pedals Stefan.
