Ladder and broom stowed 
Cockpit done, ready for varnish and weathering.
Trial fitting the floor to fuselage halves revealed a prominent pitch forward of the troop seats until I spotted the seat rail fouling against the soundproofing I added to the rear ramp area. Once a cutout was made on either fuselage half the problem went away.
Next is a touch up, varnish and weathering.

Thanks Jakko. I went with the brass handled broom in the end.

Superb work - I do like the little details you've added.
Rick, I have just had a slow reread of your build. You are doing a great job. One thing I noticed. The part G25 that you left off at the beginning. I am probably wrong but does it not fit underneath the cockpit rather than as the instrument panel ?
John.
