I won't bore you with the details. Just some finished pics:
This is the cockpit, completed with the photo-etched aftermarket set offered by ParaGrafix. The PE ha perforations and holes that will be back-lit by the kit-included PCB LED board and some extra SMD LED's for the cockpit console. The perforations were filled with some PVA glue, then back-tinted with clear red, blue, and orange Tamiya Paints in the corresponding areas. I did dd a few photo-etched, scratch building styrene strip, and Panzer model kit parts to fill in the cockpit console and the barren sidewalls.
While waiting for some more SMD's and LED's from Asia, I pressed on with the cargo old. I finished the bunk/storage above the holo-chess bench with some scratch-building, some modifying of the kit parts, and some extra's from the parts/spares bin. Guitar players, take note!
