Progress...

A bit of an update...

The seats need cushions. It looks like there are sheepskin covers in the back and leather in the front. I covered the empty seats in tape as a sort-of mould and grabbed the Milliput:

Still some fiddling and painting to go on these but I think they'll turn out OK.

The joysticks in this version don't have prominent collars on the shaft, so I trimmed them. Before:

The tail needs some adjustment too. There were a few extra bits on the kit version that aren't on ZK-BFH:

Masking done ready for painting the interior (which was a bit of a palaver):

The seatbelts on this one look different to those in the Eduard Tiger Moth PE kit, so I decided to make my own. However, I just couldn't get the results I wanted and it was taking ages:

These prototypes all look a bit too rough and ready. So I gave up and got the Eduard Seatbelts France WWII PE instead. They're pretty close and a lick of paint should get them looking OK I hope.
