How was the interior to build?



The interior was nice and easy to build. Erverything fit without much sanding. The firewall behind the engine was a bit wrongly shaped, but you don't see it at all once the upper wing is on. There was quite a lot of detail, but of course there is always something you can add. I did add an instrument panel and I maybe should have added a camera to the observers cockpit. Too late I noticed, that there is a plywood bomb department on both sides of the observers cockpit. In real Rumplers there was one only on the port side I think.. (?)
