Cheers Robert. It's my first time doing an interior, so something new for me too. 
Got some primer down last night so hopefully will get the interior colour on later today.
I tried the stynylrez primer for the first time (got the 3 pack from John) and I have to say so far I am impressed. It went down very well, nice even surface.

I really like those new models and their interiors....are a challenge and a dream together
Cheers Polux, it certainly is a challenge.
Did a little bit of weathering on the interior, this will have more added when other bits have been fitted. I also got the engine, transmission and air box painted up.

Got some more paint down today, these are the last parts for the lower hull interior.
View attachment 282776 View attachment 282777 View attachment 282778 View attachment 282779 View attachment 282780
I also painted the inside edge of the rear panel in the exterior colour so I didn't have to try and hand brush it later.
View attachment 282781 View attachment 282782
And I also built the upper hull interior and got it and it's parts primed.

Best of all I found these old scissors in my workshop. They are for cutting lexan body shells (left over from my RC days) and are awesome for cutting sprues.

Great looking work you have done, it really does build into a fantastic model.
I like the fact that all the hatches work so none of your hard work on the interior is lost. I built the same kit last year, there may still be a build log on here some place
Looking forward to seeing it progress.

Cheers Adrian, I'm enjoying it so far. First time for me having to build a bit, paint it, fit it,build another bit, etc.

You are nailing it...
Haven't been at the bench for a couple of days, mainly because the pain killers I'm on make it hard to think, let alone employ fine motor skills.
I eased in to it today by dry fitting most of the interior, then taking it all out again for matte coating.
I'd already done some weathering, but will add to it when all the parts are glued in.

This really is coming along a treat Bob, looking forward to the next update
Actually, I did do a bit more today, but it was boring. Tracks!
I got 40 links done, so that's a quarter of them out the way.
