I don't have any pictures but I can recommend another good kit for you. The Academy PBY-5A which is a very nice kit. I forget what it retails for, but it is worth the price. Nice detail and recessed panel lines with no flash.
I am going to build it as an Air Force OA-10. Hope this helps you a little bit. Russell

Hello Erik,
I am flying in the Canso in Hamilton on Nov 11. If you can wait that long, I can send to you all kinds of interior photos!
