The K-4 is in a nutshell of its own. There is a lot more work involved here just because it's in 1/24 scale. Here is a picture of the cockpit with the R/H wall. I started out with a Verlinden update set for the cockpit. I built the R/H wall from the Verlinden kit but didn't test fit it until I was done with the wall (rule of thumb #2 and note to self, "Always test fit the parts BEFORE I start building and painting). So..........I built both walls using the kit wall to begin with and adding details from the Verlinden walls. See what you think

Mustang - Whooaa!! That is downright remarkable work. Nice recovery. Yeah, I believe we all here have put a healthy bend in our learning curve from not thoroughly test fitting. Thanks for sharing your work. It is top notch.

I was going to get rid of the ejector pin marks at the rear most portion of the r/h engine access panel but they are going to be hidden so I didn't worry about them too much. There were, however, a slew of them on the sidewalls of the cockpit to deal with! I appreciate the comments.
