    Weathering and final coat do look nice, Spiros @fiveten
    Don't forget the balancer on the tail.

    The interior mounted through the bottom side.
    It did require a bit of force to get the interior on its place but eventually all did get into place without damage.
    The interior fits nicely as well as the intrument panel.



    Glueing the bottom part to the upper wings does require the help of clamps to keep everything in place while the glue is drying. The wingroot on the left side does also require some putty.

    Was struggling quite a bit to get the center bottom surface part mounted today.
    With a "high-tech" clamping solution it stayed in place while the glue dried.
    I already noticed some areas where putty is required unfortunately.

    @fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros. Maybe I was a bit spoilt with the fittings of the Wellington.
