First, congrats on the new baby!

Second, that looks like a really beautiful interior! Geez, I'll be really interested to see how the painting goes; that looks like its gonna be a chore all sqeezed in there!

Having worked with some resin interiors, I would have recommended that you try to lay in the bottom-most pieces, and then glue in the other parts after painting. I hope you can adequately cover all the surface! Then again, if it's only gonna be possible to look down the hatch, it mat be OK. Just be sure that when ou airbrush the interior, make sure that you direct the spray from the direction of the primary perspective, ie, from the direction that you will be looking in--that way you can be sure hat the paint will have hit what you will be lookng at!

Can't wait to see it!  Might wanna adjust the yellow balance in your photos though?

How much "force" was required to make the interior fit? And is it all glued together now, or can you take sub assemblies out to ease the painting process?

Well as wierd as it may seem, I have finally got around to doing a bit of work on my StuG for the Kursk group build. Feels good to be modeling again. Moving into a new house and my wife having a baby kind of put a dampner on my build time as of late. But anyways, this is the Jaguar interior "forced" into Dragons F/8. This is several firsts for me. First time working with resin and first AM interior. It has been a learning experience for sure but I like how its coming together. All comments are welcome good and bad....
