Seat installed. 
the HGW seatbelts in this case were no treat. Bad fit of buckles, not matching instructions to actual parts. Made them work with spare Luftwaffe buckles.

Basic colours are on the oil tank (interior green) and self healing fuel tank (brown. Should be black, but brown is more interesting in the overall scheme i think.)

Beautiful work on the cockpit Jeroen.

Have you checked the fit of the cockpit between the two MLG bays? I've heard it's very tight and doing a dry fit on the kit I have shows it wont work without some significant sanding of both the cockpit and the bays.

I have been warned by Cees Broere and am expecting a battle :))

Beautiful cockpit work, Jeroen.  I have the Tempest kit but still, following along closely with what you are doing.  Agree on the brown, self-healing tank.  Def more interesting!

That is looking Saasweeeeet Jeroen!! and yes I had the same issue if memory serves me right sanded more on the lower R/side frames to keep the fuse from bulging to much.

Preparing to close the fuselage. Some weird issues bit nothing i can’t fix. Luckily. It’s Special Hobby and not Tamiya. Just need to keep that in mind. Opened another small hatch to give room to the filler cap of the red small tank on the right side, situated below the fuel tank. Can’t remember what it was for.

Jeroen at this point for me in the build I had the wings already built having heard other had issues building the WW's.If I did what you have and maybe you get lucky the wing and fuse would go together.:hsmack:
