Indeed a huge difference, Keith @greenterrorz
Your progress looks really good.

The A-7 is from the "new Fw-190" series, while the D-9 is from the earlier "too darn fiddly" series, @greenterrorz.

The cockpit of the Dora looks really good, Keith @greenterrorz
Looking forward to the A-7 one.

Thank you both @johnb @fiveten. For the money, you think it would all be pained.

I was able to complete the A-7 cockpit this afternoon. Went together similarly to the D-9, except I purchased the Eduard Look painted resin gauge cluster. It is extremely detailed as you can see below.

I decided to make the A-7 cockpit more worn as the plane will be in need of heavy repair in my diorama.

My next step will be the engine bay for both planes. The D-9 won’t have any engine components exposed as the kit did not come with an engine… But it will have the nose mounted machine gun area opened up.

Keith, I’ll drop a pm to the editor and see how it goes.
Good work with the cockpits

You are building two impressive kits at once. And then making a diorama. Good luck and I eagerly await the results. If I helped in any am glad to help.

Have the Eduard D-9 in stash. Figure once I have mastered the 1/48 ZM Ta 152 I might be up to the challenge of the Dora.

Interior looks great, Keith @greenterrorz. I would already have the parts for the two kits mixed together. Well done.
