Im going to try some chipping techniques on the model. I do think it needs some wear and tear. I’ll try that on the next WW2 build-the F4F Wildcat.
A little wear and chipping looks good but if you want a brand new plane what you've got looks perfect!

Check our Lawdogs cockpit tutorial! Your absolutely on the right track. Great effort thus far!

At the plate: 1/48 Airfix Bf109 & 1/35 Tamiya Famo
On deck: Who knows!
Looks good to me. From what I can see, your detail painting skills are not lacking.
As John said, if you are able to get any closer for the pics, that would help to critique and suggest stuff. But not everyone is able to do that.
I enjoy cockpits, looks like maybe you do too. This is my favorite cockpit detailing tutorial, by Lawdog, a very talented FSM member. The techniques are solid and I find myself referring back to it as the years pass and my memory does the same.
Stupid hotlink no workie again. Here's the link and sorry it's not hot:

grrrr.
Second model looking good to me. Keep on snipping and gluing.
More light, a bigger image size, and shots from several angles would be good. What I can see looks pretty good. I use aluminum powder rather than paint, just a trace on a stiff brush, for wear on aluminum parts that have been painted. Easier for me to control, and a wet Q-tip removes it if I overdo it.
Thanks Jim.
I did put a little panel line accent in black on the floor to show grim and dirt. The dry brushing silver is a super idea.
thanks for the response.
1/48. Can’t imagine how small those parts are on 1/72. You must have eagle eyes.
Looks pretty good to me too!
Only have one tip if you want it. Scuff up the floor with a dry brushing of silver to simulate wear and tear by the pilot.

Stay Safe.
Main WIP:
On the Bench: Artesania Latina (aka) Artists in the Latrine 1/75 Bluenose II
I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
Looks great to me. What scale? Cockpits are the bane of my existence, but detail in my preferred 1/72 scale is a tough nut to crack.
On the bench: A diorama to illustrate the crash of a Beech T-34B Mentor which I survived in 1962 (I'm using Minicraft's 1/48 model of the Mentor), and a Pegasus model of the submarine Nautilus of 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas fame.
Need some constructive criticism on my 2nd ever project. Here’s the Tamiya kit A6M2 Zero cockpit. Please feel free to emphasize how I can get better. Hopefully this picture will post. Thanks everyone for their opinion.
