Thanks my friends @airbum and @eb801!

Erik, by the way, those instructions are the "new style" Revell ones, first time I use them. I was a tad sceptical at the start, with all those illustrations and stuff, but they are quite good!

Eric, I can usually manage two to four modeling hours a day, sometimes less, even zero (family obligations, tireness etc...), rarely more than four. I am lucky to have a setup bench, so, if a half hour gap arises, I can make good use of it.

Well...I confess that one of the best times of he tday (actually of the night!) is when in bed, just before sleeping, where, intentionally or unintentionally I "build" one of my projects in my mind...

Also, I will not deny that I may exchange an couple of hours sleeping for modeling...(ok, not everyday..but often!)

Finally, what REALLY pushes my motivation to find build time, is your great "company" here, guys! Simply amazing!

Thanks again for this!

Great progress, Spiros @fiveten
A good idea to secure that large amount of weights and a nice approach to get that done.

Update

The engine radiators are some nicely engineered parts, attached circumferentially in the inner cowl front. They are well represented in the kit in five pieces each that have to be carefully glued together and simultaneously attached inside the cowl:

The fuselage was assembled, as well as the rudders, the horizontal stabilizers, the nice four exhaust covers and the five tires, that, nicely are separately supplied from the rims.

I am a happy gluer (ahhhhh, those fumes!)

Chreers!

Thanks, my friend @johnb!
Those radiators did not want to conform! Had I assembled them in pentagon shape outside the cowling and then installed them, it would have been a piece of cake!

Wow,my friend @airbum! 1:1 radiators, cowling pieces and back nacelles!
Simply amazing!
Thanks for posting, motivation boosted up!

Thanks Louis @lgardner!
Eagerly waiting for your Uhu as well!
Rumor has it that these twin builds will be more or less synchronized.
I did check our good friend's Erik @airbum Uhu pics posting: those are some wonderful pics!
What a motivation!

Thanks Michael @faraomike!
Indeed, it is a gem of a kit! Revell must be congratulated for bringing up kits like this...ad at that price!
As usual, I will build OOB, especially here, where this kit is pretty comprehensive. I can only imagine this kit build by you and your amazing superdetailing skills!
You are a most welcome guest here, my friend!

I did not install the seats. Instead I sanded away the molded in seat harness, and repainted the seats using RLM 66. The seat upholstery was then painted again using a brown leather color.

I have a set of aftermarket seat harness sets for the cockpit. Once completed this should look better than what was molded on.

Here's a close up picture showing the radio and radar scopes. Not all of the decals have been applied when this picture was taken. The kit supplied decals worked very well, and snuggled down into the recessed areas very well after an application of Solvaset.

These photos show the cockpit after the side walls were installed. One is clear, the other is molded in a light blue(ish) gray, solid plastic color like the rest of the kit.

Remember the weights I made using the 3/8 bolts ? Here is where they fit. Like a glove ! They will fit in the open area that is just behind the cockpit, and ahead of the first bulkhead / main wing spar.
