Decals arrived today, so building and priming has started. Interior is charitably described as 'sparse,' but in this size the idea of scratchbuilding a better one is daunting. Nope, ain't gonna happen. Goes together fairly well so far.

It looks like quite a good little kit.  :thumbsup:

How detailed does a cockpit need to be in 1/72?  :unsure:

They don't need to go crazy but it is nice to have bulkheads, floor, IP, seat, stick, and a crew.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

My thoughts exactly, but I still try and complete them according to the instructions  :banghead:  As said in my Blog the Special Hobby Boomerang has 50 parts on the single sprue of which 23 are for the cockpit  :angel:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Or their 1/72 Wirraway.  Two seats = twice as many tiny cockpit parts.
