Some progress:

After the interior green, it's the turn to the black paint to be worked with pastels... See photos 1 to 3.
Then I have prepaired the instrument panels. It's photoetched elements on a plastic base. As glue I have used... Tamiya Gloss Varnish! It's enough to glue the different parts together and very useful because gloss varnish is needed to represent the glasses of the instruments... See photo 4.
Visor is prepared too and other instrument (photos 5-6)
And finally seatbelts are glued on the seat (that were also worked on with pastels) see photo 7...

Excellent work!

The use of clear varnish is something I've started doing with PE parts finally.

yes, useful and easy to use. No hurry needed due to the fact cyano is drying quickly...

Suggested drying for cyano is 30 minutes before painting, washing etc, nice work by the way !

Thank you Modellius!

Cockpit interior is finished and built; then inserted in the half fuselages.

Just to say that kits are still on the workbench... ;)
I haven't had time to make kits those last moments, but today I worked on the exhausts. I'm preparing parts for painting job...

Hello,

I thought the color of the pilot's seat was more brownish.
Otherwise, it's excellent work.

Yes, I find too that the color recommended by Eduard is a little bit too reddish...
