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.

Looks very good.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

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.
