    You can't lose with a T-6, Reinhard (Reinhard @grimreaper). I am looking forward to seeing more of both of your T-6 builds. Interiors look great.

    Yes. Interiors do look great. Working with yellow can be fun after all! @grimreaper

    A small item, but a detail culled from having been around T-6s since 1969 - that cover over the rear instrument panel should be black.

    The Monogram T-6 is actually the closest to right of all the kits out there, because of the raised rivets, which are all over a T-6 except for the wing leading edge to the main spar, which Monogram does right.

    wings added

    the fit of the landing light covers was bad, needed filling with glue, sanding and polishing
    they look a bit clearer than on the pic

    canopy demasked, looks ok
