Scratchbuilding the interior. Even though it's easy to see into the open turret, the kit offers very little in terms of contents.

Started painting the muffler. Used a double layer of hairspray chipping for the first time. I'm rather pleased with the result.

Thanks! I didn't have scale drawings, so I had to guess regarding the size of things. It all came together in the end, so I couldn't have been that far off.

No one is going to measure it, don't bother.
It's a "shame" that In the end only a small part of it will be visible.😎

The BA-64 has an open top turret, so you can see quite a bit inside even when it's all closed up.
