Doug,
The interior is really looking good. Just one suggestion. You weathered the section where the seats are, but the seats look brand new. They could use a dirty wash to blend both elements together.

Doug,
Glad to see another update, as there wasn't one in April. I've been following your build with great interest since this is will be my 1st helicopter build some time late this year.

I'm planning on having the engine doors open, and your detailing of the door latch assembly looks great, and even doable for someone like me. Hope you don't mind I "borrow" some of your scratch building details.

Looking forward to your engine assembly & detailing.

Joel

Dough,
Thanks. It will be one of my main references that's for sure.
