Progess on the seats:
Because of the large windows you can really see them, I think it is a worth while investment of time.
And I drilled out the intake of the nacelles.

Thanks. I am still figuring out how to do the painting sequence.
- traditional: white, blue, black (de icing boots)
- black base: black, blue, white
I am not sure if I want the depth and marbled finish of black base on a commercial/private aircraft.

Definitely worth putting some effort in the "internals"
If I had to choose, I would go for a "traditional"... To be honest, commercial jet versus "black base" somehow does not match...

Thanks for your feedback. I also think "traditional" is the way to go.

Thanks guys!
I almost completed assembly so I will take and post some pics tonight of the whole thing. Only thing left to do is the windscreen (I think you can not really call it a canopy). All the reviews I have read regard this as a low point of the kit, fit is not that good. So I will have to work carefully.

The current state of affairs. The assembly is done. I need tot do some more minor seam filling an then this one is ready for painting. The window is slightly oversized. But this is because the MU-2 windows are a bit bulged outwards.
