Open all interior doors, using strip plastic blocks to reinforce/shape awful engine nacelle "ovalas" -rest of kit is great so, far, found adding third strut to seats in passenger cabin allowed me to build full interior before closing fuselage without trying to figure out how to attach what would have been "free floating seats" since they could not be attached to the fuselage wall after closing, obviously(!) Work slow, the plastic is thick and tough to cut if you want to open doors to see the very nice kit interior!

Only real gripe is what other builders have already stated, having to install gear legs so early. Also, be very careful with the orientation of the two small bulkheads inside the gear well! they should actually go JUST in front of what looks like an alignment "rib" - easy to put in backwards, too.

Still, REALLY like this kit!

My SpecialHobby Vautour and Meteors up soon, now that I know what to expect.
