Sorry about the slow rate of updates everyone. I hurt my back at the gym so I'm having to avoid being hunched over at the modeling bench this week.

OK! Back at it with the interior. This kit is definitely a jump in difficulty from the last one. PE is definitely difficult, and if you're doing this kit, make sure you frequently fit check the flight seats and how they'll mount to the bulkheads!

the detailing on this kit is really lovely, but the fitting of the parts is really bad. And advice on fixing the massive panel gaps in pic 43 to 47 is appreciated.

Is the top portion already glued on? If not, try adding some bracing with some cut sprues to force the sides apart. Right about where the kink/end of the doghouse is.

Is the aft bulkhead of the crew cabin causing the problem? If that is glued to both sides, forcing the sides apart may not work.

Very good advice. Had to pry it apart but addint braces definitely helped!

If still relevant.
Pic 43-45. Before gluing the fuselage roof to the lower part, I glued 2 spacers from sprue scraps between the walls.
Pic 46 and 47.
I simply cut off the inner side of the hood wall, leaving the outer side untouched, achieving a tight fit along the outer surface. And I puttyed a little bit on the front of the hood.

Good advice!
