That pit is just fantastic! WOW!

That looks really fine, Chris! Man, you're doing great work on this kit!

Your cockpit is coming along beautifully

Man that cockpit looks awesome! Very well done!!

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it. Side note: I just got reminded of why I don't like MM Acryl acrylics. Very poor adhesion. I just masked off the inside of the cockpit walls to paint the cockpit decking and pulled half of the dark gull grey paint off with the masking tape. This is not the tub, but the inner shell (cockpit walls) of the upper fuselage piece. Well, it's hard to see so I guess I will get to work touching things up with a brush...

I have MM acrylics and their enamels as well. I never had issues with their acrylics.

Time to close up the fuzzy lodge.
I dry brushed the cockpit deck with dark grey just to make it look a bit less sterile.

Neat, clean and tidy assembly and well judged choices at quarter scale, Chris, bravo! I wanted to ask you what the long wooden matchstick is used for—positioning parts? I usually fingerprint parts when attempting to close a long joint no matter what I do.

Thanks Bruce, that is actually just random debris laying around my workbench
The matchstick is actually a toothpick that was used to apply some Maskol liquid mask at some point.
I guess I need to clean my work area.

That’s perfect. No need to clean the bench. I have toothpicks too. Thanks!!
