Johne 69, many thanks for that, never done a full internal before so taking it slowly slowly. Great fun though ????

Thanks Gunther, only getting in a couple of hours a week so slow, but will get there in the end. Very nice kit I have to say 🙂

Hi Andy, I have this kit too, but not sure what paint to use. Are you able to share what paint you used for the interior please? As I do like the creamy white you have got. Thanks.

Hi Jonathan, yes, no problem. I used Ammo's 0017 cremeweiss. It is RAL9001 if you are using another manufacturer.
