Looks excellent John! Nice work! It always feels good when things actually fall together.
BTW, I used my Google translator on my phone to check that instruction sheet portion you posted. The Japanese you wondered about is translated as: "Additional Panel Line". That's all.

Thanks guys! More work on the G-14 including the riveting of the upper wings. The rivets show up more white than black, signifying the stress marks around each hole. I think I need a new wheel as this one is getting dull.
I drilled out some holes in the wing bottom to accommodate the ammo chutes. In the past, I sketched the cross section of the chutes onto this area and carved out nice neat rectangular holes. They started off too small and I gradually shave them bigger until the chutes would just squeeze through. Stupid... no need for that type of precision here... just drill holes that are obviously bigger than the chutes and you're done.
Vincent K to the rescue again! Mr. K pointed out that I had mounted the Revi 16B too far forward of the mount and that was causing the near conflict with the windscreen. So I re-positioned the gunsight and the clearance is much better.
The base coat of RLM 66 Dark Grey has been established on the cockpit parts.

Belts are beautiful all painted up.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Amazing looking belts John. I'd swear they were HK or some other fabric or paper belts!
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

Thanks fellas!
The cockpit for the G-14 has been painted.
Getting close-up shots of the cockpit can be very unforgiving, revealing flaws that you miss in person. But it is also a very good way to improve one's technique. I'm a firm believer that good photography can make one a better modeler.
Chipping was done with a combination of hairspray (major areas on the seat and floor) and dry-brushing. A pastel wash and dry pastels added a little more wear. The few data stencils were from Airscale. The sidewalls are not yet attached to the cockpit tub so we can get a sideways view into each side of the cockpit... a view that won't be possible when the fuselage sides are glued together.
The downward view is probably more important since it better approximates the actual view into the cockpit. This shows the added MW50 gauge and also some sloppy painting on the actuating rods coming out of the throttle quadrant.
On the starboard side, you can see the additional gauges near the oxygen regulator that were given the same treatment (Airscale gauge decals and clear plastic dials) as the instrument panel.

Why is it that I always want to sit in the things you build?
