Thanks Medic - I did wonder about that. That's a really interesting tip that I'll have to investigate as I tend to struggle with the detail interior painting.

Re: 1/48 B-25J Mitchell
Thanks guys. More updates.
Some weight in the nose. I'm closing the bomb bay doors so I can add some there if needed (which I'm sure it will).

Got the cockpit installed yesterday. Now on to the wing spars/bomb bay.

Bomb bay/wing spars inserted into the fuselage.

Re: 1/48 B-25J Mitchell
That's a fair amount of detail there Medic! I always dislike closing the fuselage up on detail like this but it's a necessary evil. Lookin' good so far buddy.
