Button up anxiety

I've finished the interior of my Catalina, and I've realised something. I have anxiety about closing up the fuselage.
Ive made enough mistakes closing up a fuselage over the years that im now hesitant to glue it up without sitting on it for a while. Bombers are worse than fighters, but ironically fighters are usually the ones where i make the most mistakes. Forgetting pieces, misalignment on long seams etc.
Has anyone else experienced this? Its such a weird feeling.

Not so much for me since I try to avoid painting the interiors (areas behind the cockpit, etc...) of bombers and such - except cockpit areas. Bombers I usually build them bomb bay doors up.

One idea I’d like to build up a bomber in flight with bombs released.

However, I would love to get the visible B-17 Fortress and then it would be worth painting the interior in all its glory.

Too bad it didn’t include the crew figures - including the ball turrent figure.
