| This is the cockpit about halfway finished. I bent the foot pedals to an asemetrical position. |
 |
| Here is the canopy in position. I cut away the side windows and trimmed away the track rails from the fuselage so I could make new ones that lined up properly. This also allowed me to have the windows in the open position which looks better anyway. |
 |
| The opened windows really added detail to the canopy and allowed an unrestricted view of the inside detail. |
 |
| It's difficult to see but there is instrument detail on the flightdeck. |
 |
| Italeri included mesh to insert into the vents on the upper part of the fuselage, a very nice touch! |
 |
| Italeri made a good attempt to provide interior detail. The cargo seat webbing is molded a flat but it looks convincing once the fuselage is sealed up. Note my original try at cockpit colors. |
 |
| I added strip styrene for framing structure on the sidewalls and engine access areas. It added just enough detail to make it look right. |
 |
| Here I'm adding more strip styrene framing structure in the cargo bay. |
 |
| This is the most you'll ever get to see of the nice engine detail... it's virtually gone once the fuselage is together. |
