ckaczka,
Your interior detail painting looks really good. But I'm wondering just how much of it can be seen once you button up the fuselage.
I had a similar issue with my TBD-1 Build. I detailed the wheel wells that most likely will never be seen, especially if I fold the wings, as turning over the aircraft will be difficult to say the least. But I know it's there, and that's the way that I wanted to go.
Looking forward to your next update.

Yea but its the enjoyment of doing it and if someone ever turns it to see the bomb bay its done. Working on the rest of the bomb bay as I write this. A lot work cutting sanding for the photoetch.

ckaczka, from what I can see, you started off with a lighter shade of interior green that looks like Green Zinc Chromate. In the final two pictures you've over painted everything to a much darker shade, which looks more like brand new Interior Green. Weathering washes will only tend to darken it even further. With the closing up of the fuselages halves it will make it even that much darker.
I think you would have been better off with the lighter Green, then weathered, and that would have darkened it up perfectly.

Well the color is all the same it just maybe the lighting in the workbench area. I don't attend to do any weathering on this model it's just to much of a task for a rookie modeler. Thanks for your input i'll keep that in mind for the next model with is going to be a king tiger tank.

ckaczka, You've certainly made quite a bit of progress with the gluing up of the fuselage halves. Just hope that enough of the interior detail is visible from the outside after all the work and effort you put into it.
Looking forward to your next up.
