Nice progress, my friend @johnb!
And I like your camo choice!
You are right about life interfering with our beloved hobby, still it's great that you manage to find these small, but so important, time slots to move your build forward.

@fiveten, Thanks Spiros, to overcome the shortage of time from last week I decided this morning to skip my running session and spent time on the cockpit. Might do the running later today.
@popeofchillitown, Thank you Ben, yesterday I bought the missing RLM colors.

Coming along nicely, John!

Interior looks great, John (@johnb). I have this kit stashed somewhere, so I am eager to see how it goes together.

Did some constructions on the gun bay.
Weathering still needs to be done ofcourse.
The base of this part is metal which ofcourse helps it to prevent it from becoming a tail sitter.

Won't be long till it's time to close it up and work on the outside, John (@johnb). Putting nose weights in the box is certainly a great idea. I really like the idea that some manufacturers are offering several levels of kits, starting with the basic kit, then options for masks or photoetch or resin included in the kit. Eduard and a few others do this and I like the option of getting stuff in the kit that I would buy anyway.

Might I join the chorus here and say it looks great! very nice progress. The mix of decals and AM belts looks just right.

Spiros @fiveten, George @gblair, Tom @tcinla, Erik @airbum, Louis @lgardner, thanks a lot for all your encouraging words, appreciated a lot.
George, reading the build of Michael @michaelt, besides the metal nose piece, it is still advisable to add some additional weigth.

This week I was able to finish the internal parts. Hobby Boss did very nice work on creating those details. Unfortunatelly most of it will be covered up once the fuselage is closed. Luckily on starboard side there is the possibility to leave out the service hatch. I did some dry fitting already on the fuselage and the fit seems pretty nice.
