Trying something different, Painting the fuselage, then the wings then attaching them to the fuselage. Added some 1/72 seats to the cockpit instead of using the kit pilots, also cut out the engines that were molded into the nacelles. I'm replacing them with some Victor .Wright R-1820G's. And yes I sanded down those many rivets.

Looking good! Very attractive scheme you selected.
