The cockpit is installed and the gaps are filled. This is a gotcha-point. Pay attention to where the cockpit goes on, there are very large gaps and the front end can be put pretty much anywhere up or down/side to side. Just take care and align it.

Once I got that on and settled, I finished up the “battery compartment” in the top of the main bay. The AA batteries are easy to get to and simple to exchange. I did oops, and mucked up the wiring, so there are two switches, one to the forward half of the model and one to the engines. Essentially, I built a false roof that hid all the wires and used a magnetized card to cover the open area.

After that, I go through the finished flight stand and the landing ramp, and then preparation for the final painting and putting on the transfers.
