I decided from the start I was going to paint,  and weather everything on the interior since Trumpeter did such a nice job with the kit, and it's not a cheap kit!!

Some things ,like down in the engine compartment will never see the light of day, but I know the engine is painted and weathered with oil stains and everything. The  interior of the model easily took twice as long as the exterior to complete. [ATTACH=full]116288[/ATTACH]
