    Ditto from me, Felix (@fxrob). Seatbelts look great. Not too much will be visible once everything is closed inside the fuselage.

    Youโ€™re doing a great job building & painting the interior parts. Itโ€™s amazing to look at. Those 1/72 bombers with the full interior and beyond my level of ability.

    Very nice seatbelts, Felix @fxrob
    To me they look as nice as the Eduard ones. Knowing that you built them yourself gives it a lot of appreciation.

    @fxrob I read a lot about this kit and put more lead in nose than manual suggest. Some load You can put over wings in bomb bay.

    Dear Spiros @fiveten, Eric @eb801, George @gblair, Jay @ssgt, Carl @clipper, John @johnb and capt. R @lis, thank you all for your kind feedbacks! Today is assembly day ๐Ÿ™‚ All interior parts are painted and weathered. I will have one window in the fuselage open and closed on the other side. I also bought some liquid weight but i am still undecided whether to use it or not. If the ladder is being lowered in the rear fuselage, then weight is not needed.

    @lis Looking forward to seeing you do your magic! The fit is certainly much better than that of the Blenheim ๐Ÿ™‚ I think i am going for the 15th AF too, that yellow is too delicious!

    Unfortunately, 55 grams are required for weight. Turns out that liquid weight is much too light, i filled out all the spots reserved for weight and could not get more than 15 grams. I will have to search for another solution. Maybe heavy magnets in the bomb bay?
    Anyway, things are coming together now! The fit is great, on the same level as the pristine Tempest and Mosquito kits. Just pure fun.

    @fxrob use fishlead over bomb bay. You need sth about 90gr of load.

    Interior looks really nice, Felix @fxrob
    How about adding some weight in the front of the engine compartment.
