Over the New Year period i thought i would start painting the corridors and hull, Davetwin, Avant1963 and a few others have inspired me to crack on with it. I have just kept it simple. Sprayed all the corridors and hold Tamiya TS-4 German Grey. Painted all the pads and seat cushions Tamiya XF-78 Deck Tan, than i just sanded the corners to reveal the original colour just to try and give that old worn leather look. Used a Tamiya weathering kit to dirty things up a bit. I am pleased with the results being my first time at doing this   Darren

I thought I would see how the corridor would fit in the cockpit tube and how much you could see through the access panel. You can see quite a bit, maybe a small light wouldn't go a miss Also before I put the ramp motor on I wanted to see how it looked down and lit up, quite chuffed how this beauty is turning out.

Just been on Deagostini Japan. Very interesting read, there's is released this month. Some quotes from website Boarding ramp is movable by remote control, lighting also lit automatically. During the display, it can be fixed by selecting the flight position or landing position Equipped with a AA battery-battery box. Connect the internal wiring, and supplies power to the hull sections. Using the included remote control, the rear of the sub-high-speed drive, the front of the floodlights, and LED lighting of internal cockpit's possible lighting. Darren

That's pretty sweet news. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the gunner wells have LEDs too?
