Thanks, BT! That was the aim, to raise a chuckle, or at least a smile.  :smiley:

Well, I've finished the last piece of cargo a "damaged" metal box for "Damaged" magazine ... It's barely visible behind a pile of other boxes, but it looked pretty good before I hid it away.  :D  ::)

And I've almost finished a scratch-built briefcase.

Fuselage glazing is in (I don't think I can fit the 2-piece cockpit glazing until after the fuselage is together, I've had a test run).

Just finishing off the pilot's briefcase.

Once that's done & in, & the masking's cut for the fuselage windows (just in case they pop out when I'm doing the masks), It'll be time to slap the fuselage halves together around the interior.

Quite visible with the glazing in place;






The rather messed up corner of the glazing;

The interior work continues to be amazing. I'm also filled with envy at how  visible it remains (And you can see the riveting on the framing!  :o)

Thanks, Doc!  :icon_alabanza:

It helps to be working in 1/48 & not afraid to use 1/35 accessories (as long as they don't look over-sized).  ;)

And the visibility is all thanks to the Antonov design bureau & the clarity of the Hobby Boss clear parts.  ;D
