Last items for the interior are the main wheel bays, which have some massive injection pin marks that need sanding out before adding some internal framing.
A coat of gloss white finishes off the bay interior and the exterior that is visible extending into the cargo bay, has an aluminium finish. Ensure to remove all paint from the joint faces as you need a flush fit to ensure the cargo deck aligns correctly or your fuselage halves will not fit in consequence of getting that wrong.
Joining the fuselage is straightforward and no alignment issues were obvious, although the seam is very weak and I suspect it will crack open with handling, let’s wait and see.
There was some minor filling needed on the forward upper fuselage and on the nose below the cockpit windscreen, nothing too onerous.
However, on the tail section, some more serious attention was required to smooth out deformations in the skin surfaces both above and below.

Beautiful rendition of an old kit!
