That looks great! I also painted and added the pilot because of the sparse cockpit detail. I didn't add anything behind him though as nothing can really be seen once the fuselage is all closed up and the canopy is on.

Owl you have paint on your bare fingers and a loose xacto! :yikes: Living dangerously are we?

Great work on sorting out that interior Owl - I like how you added the straps from the figure to the seat - that was a nice touch.

Owl, is there any copyright information given on the lower wing? I guess this kit is much older than 1989. I think so because I am much older than ... :bag:
