This looks like a really nice model, Stan (@stakke). I have always liked the way the Sycamore looks and even built a kit many years ago, but it was much simpler and less detailed than this one. I have also tried to tint windows with varying success. Looking forward to seeing your tinted windows. Great work getting the instrument panel into the proper size.

I couldn't find a good tinting method so I refrained from trying further. The roof windows might have a slight tint but it won't be much.

I put on the decals (the manual wasn't very clear on decalling options) after giving it a good gloss coat. Next step now is an oil wash. I started with the general fuselage wash which turned out great, the secret is Payne's Grey 😀, great color. After removing the excess wash I got an imho fantastic shading effect. Pretty chuffed about it 😋

Engine grease wash is next...
