One of possible positions to add weight.

There is a mistake in instructions.

Pitot tube - it's aligned to the cockpit frame line. Replaced by Master aftermarket.
There is also some ribs missing from inside (low plastic pressure during casting?)

Shallow opening for cockpit steps. Need to be careful here because the wall is very thin.

Album image #9
Adding inner locking mechanism for cockpit glass and cutting glass out.

Scratchbuilt mirrors for pilot.

All critical glueing were done with CA glue, including cockpit windows. This was done by leaving fresh CA to evaporate for 5-10 minutes before applying to plastic.
