After that last kit is nice to be working with a well engineered kit. I've had this Accurate Miniatures kit in my stash for some time . The website Aeroscale is running a "Twin Spinner" group build so now I have the perfect excuse to do build it. I started with the cockpit as usual. The only weird thing I found was that the control panel is supplied as a transparency yet there wasn't a decal supplied. Otherwise everything went fine. I even used the supplied seatbelt decals.
The interior is full of beautiful detail but unfortunately most of it will not be seen. The problem is that you end up spending a lot of time working on stuff that doesn't really matter. Sort of like super-detailing a cockpit - at least you know it is there.
I'm very happy with the way this is going so far. At this point I'm ready to seal the two halves up.

I purchased the same model, 1:48 scale. I haven't done a model in 20 yrs. I did one of these when I was a kid. Your attention to detail is outstanding. It is a shame one only does it to know themselves. After I join the two halves I will apply a north african camo pattern. As the kit I have has two sets of canopy glass, I will use one to protect the cockpit when I paint the fuselage. Can't wait to see your finished work.
