Not too much free time today; so I've just masked the canopies...

Checking the parts, I constated that I've forgotten to prepare the cockpit doors! So it was my work this morning, using the PE elements from Eduard.

No further work having some problems of water in my compressor...

Well, after a walk with my spouse, I've tried to use the airbrush. Again, many water coming with the air of the compressor... Perheaps due to very hot and humid weather here today...

I've also tried the AK Air acrylic paint "Interior Green" from the RAF paint set. Well, not convinced by that first test... First the paint is more darker than the Gunze H312 I use normally; and secondly I've tested the paint "as is", without thinner added because it's said "ready for paintbrush"... And the paint obstructed my airbrush. After having cleaned the airbrush I tried with a little bit of thinner but the paint sounds too dark and I stopped, cleaned the airbrush again and used my usual reference (Gunze H312). Just a little bit bothered by water projections; that asked me a very attentive and skilfull painting stage...

Not too much time for modeling actually... So, I've just worked on the painting phase of the cockpit interior.

I don't use black as recommended by Eduard for the back of the seat, I prefer chocolate brown that as a base...
