More progress. Although, it just dawned on me last evening that the instrument panel mounting should be green instead of black.

This will added to the right side console after the cockpit is installed in the right fuselage side.

Yes, it does seem to fit, perhaps a bit tight. Of course, I spent a bit of time fitting the cockpit parts, etc., carefully sanding edges, checking fit, and I thought I had everything to where it closed up nice and tight before gluing anything. But, when it came time, I ended up with that sliver of styrene to close it up. :(

Anyone interested in guessing the size of the fuselage insignia? It's definitely smaller than standard. I'm pretty sure the aircraft was painted the tri-color scheme in the field.

 

I'm thinking 30" or 35".The first photo it has a red surround.
