Well, well, well... Some problems encountered during that build, that I will detail here in different posts.

First, the way to place seatbelts.

Upper seatbelt (ventral) that is PE3 must be placed on part A70 of the kit. See the instruction sheet.
Problem is that it's impossible after having glued the parts of the interior of the cockpit (that is the previous phases in the instruction sheet).
So I've decided not to do that and simply to place the seatbelt on the seat...

After that, I placed the seat on the lower part of the fuselage.

Another problem is the poor fitting of the fixed part of the rear As you can see on the photos, that is not really good and putty will be needed.

More than that I have the impression that the part is not symetric... I asked to my wife to verify and she agree with me. Fortunately the mobile part will attenuate the visual effect.

Then, positioning the part in the fuselage, I constated I made a big mistake: the parts that comes above the fuselage must be placed early, at the time of assembly of the fuselage! I had to reopen the fuselage; to introduce that part and to glue the fuselage again...

To be said that many parts are not visible in "closed configuration", but are useful if you wish to build a Schuckert with all the panels open...

Take care also that the INTERIOR of the lower grid must be painted! I did not made that, but that will be visible as you can see. So, I painted with Rub 'n Buff...

Lot of putty needed today, and some little corrections remain to be done...
