and here we go...

Cockpit, decal instruments, some black for side panel and RLM66 for rest (Xtracrylix)
Image

redbrown for seat cushion
Image

only one piece to add to side panels, sprayed RLM66
Image

fuselages together and engine on, cockpit pushed inside the fuselage
Image

wheel well
Image

decal seat belts, cockpit brushed with matt varnish
Image

this goes easily together :D good to do a Tamiya kit with no PE after my struggling last build the P-61 :whistle:

Hmm....a like kits that go together well without the need for putty....this might be one for my B'Day wish list! Gotta love those Tamiya kits!

Great job on the interior....look forward to seeing your end result mate. :thumb1:

Decals now on, decals are good, thin and not fragile, but carrier film is not cut so need to be cut which is ok for bigger decals but pain for the smaller ones. Instruction decal numbers are also not correct.

After applying the national insignia decals on the sides I noticed that Prillers 190 did not have the lower white so I needed to spray paint over the decals.

She looks lovely, i like the subtle weathering :) well done and highly interesting model, the German Luftwaffe is usually not the first thing that comes into your mind when thinking of D-Day.
Funny side note, my great-grandfather knew Priller in person, they went drinking a couple of times in Paris. Party animals :)
