Sadly I didn't take more pictures of the cockpit before I closed it up for painting, I should be ready to start painting the plane now.

I think I'm done, I wanted to add a panel line wash but I haven't done one in a while, and I couldn't get it to stay in most of the panel lines. The kit was mostly good but was overengineered in places and had some issues like requiring the landing gear to be installed before gluing the wings together, I had to modify them to be able to attach them later. I think next time I will do fewer paint layers to get the preshading to show through more, it's very subtle on the end result.
