Well I have now got the main airframe glued together, and added some seatbelts in the cockpit. A lot of the cabin details aren't visible at moment, maybe once the windows are unmasked it might be. But at least I know it's there......
Some pictures of the model so far, thanks for looking.
I hope my next is always better

Hi All,
Started applying colour scheme. First the undersides RLM 65 Blue. Two thin coats of Tamiya XF23 did the trick. Next will be the upper splinter camouflage of Dunkelgrun RLM71 and Schwarzgrun RLM70.
I also took the opportunity to cut away from the casting cages two of the figures I intend to use. As you can see they are quite small but beautifully cast.
I hope my next is always better

I think I would call it more like 'dressing' the model to show its size in relation to figures and give a model a bit of context.

Good luck painting the figures, but I know you'll make a great job of them. Does the aircraft carry any tail markings besides the hakenkreuz?

Bigkev

I will need to find some suitable Balkenkruz for the tail as there aren't any in the kit, but I have plenty to look through.
The rudder has some tactical markings,'TD7' in yellow.

Transport units were assigned a code no matter how small the unit and as they could be formed from various Geschwader/Gruppen this led to the development of special tactical codes on the rudders so individual aircraft within a newly formed unit could be identified quickly. Do the instructions give an explanation for TD7? If not T denotes the unit, 7 the Staffel and D the individual aircraft. I hope this helps.
