Back to the cockpit, I found the solution for the consoles: I've placed the seat of the Me 262 and created new consoles with Evergreen. I've also replaced the pilot stick of the kit with the one of a Bf 109G from AZ Models...

On the rear, the wheel bay don't fit; some extra work also needed. I must say I don't like the idea of that aircraft with such a disposal but no front wheel... Really boring...

The air intake is not on my taste (too "short run", details not good) so I've decided To modify that : I shorten the part and put on the reduced part the air intake of a Messerschmitt 262 from Revell (from my spare parts). That asked for some reducing of the lower part of the fuselage

Try with a drop of cyano, let dry, then sand it...

Well... As we say in French : cela ne va pas ?tre un long fleuve tranquille (that will not be a long, quiet river)

Well, I consider not to put the kit away but accept the challenge. 
I made new wheel bays from scratch that take less place in the kit interior. I will also completely scratchbuild the cockpit interior. As you can see, fitting is better now... Miliput was needed in the process

But the real problem is not short run: as is, the kit is simply unbuildable and can be put in the trashcan! 
The left wheel bay comes under the cockpit. the wheel bay parts are deep ; you cannot place the cockpit interior if you use those parts. More than that, the cockpit parts are not well conceived : you can place the cocpkit (again) due to the particular shape of the fuselage (diagonal): see the result using all the kit parts

It's short run; so some little parts are not as fine as possible as you can see here...

The Blohm Voss BV ae607 is a German "paper aircraft" that existed only on drawings... But the look of that aircraft is IMHO stunning; so I've bought the kit some times ago.

Well, lot of time passed since my last post...
I will resume soon the build, with other old but also new ones
Cockpit parts ready for primer

Anyway, excellent progress on the kit!
