So this is going to be fun. While the windows on this thing are fairly small (and so not much to see), the interior is completely empty. So I've added some strip to hold a floor and started on some very basic cockpit bulkheads..just plastic card and bits. ![]() I'm easing myself into this before sanding all those rivets back Cheers, Dermot |

Definitely a rivet monster, Dermot! Good luck with the rescribing afterwards! Philip |

So a bit more done with this. Rivets gone (mostly) and some panel lines rescribed instead. Revell_4380_Grumman_Albatross_fuselage_3 by Dermot Moriarty, on FlickrAnd not that any of it will be seen, added a new floor and bulkheads in the cockpit and new floor and seats in the main fuselage. Revell_4380_Grumman_Albatross_fuselage_4 by Dermot Moriarty, on FlickrHopefully get the fuselage buttoned up this weekend. Cheers, Dermot Edited by Dermot, Nov 22 2017, 04:45 PM.

So got the internals painted up. Revell_4380_Grumman_Albatross_fuselage_5 by Dermot Moriarty, on FlickrThe cockpit glued in along with a 20g fishing sinker. Revell_4380_Grumman_Albatross_fuselage_6 by Dermot Moriarty, on FlickrAnd all buttoned up. A few spots need filler but overall, not a bad fit for a kit that's older than me. Revell_4380_Grumman_Albatross_fuselage_7 by Dermot Moriarty, on FlickrThanks for looking. Dermot Edited by Dermot, Nov 27 2017, 12:25 AM.
