The pedals (photo 1): their basic shape is good for a 1/48 model but I'll have to think to something a little bit more complex.

The ceiling (photo 2) is a really complex piece, but also a great attention-catcher in this model. I'll have to do some work here too.

For example, as you see in photos 3 and 4 I found the first real fit issue so far. The upper-lateral walls (both sides) will need some adjustment.

The pouches (photo 5) will have to be less "square"

In photo 6 you see the appearance of the whole thing in its present state. I didn't glue the front section (it's only placed in position, don't look at the gap between ceiling and front wall...) as I'll have to take some measures inside and I need to reach the inner details easily.

In the last photo you see the reason for I talked about reinforcing the front wall (previous post). During the transportation the ceiling section pushed on the windows distorting the frames, as you see here. The transparent pieces will add some rigidity but I think that a double layer of cardboard is needed here.

Well it's all for now, next time the seats...
