Thanks all for all your comments, could you imagine wicker chairs in todays H&S mad world.

Been busy researching the aircraft got a few more ideas regards the interior, in the meantime all the chairs have been made.

Things have stalled at the moment regards the Trimotor while I decide what route to take might have to abandon the original plan with this one and just go for a normal build.

What happened to your plans? Did you find something out that 'doesn't fit'?

Cheers all was a bit stuck on the removal area wanted to go for a top piece to remove, only trouble was that the top wing suports the whole wing so had to have a rethink and was getting know where, however I have continued with my original idea and think Ive found the solution.

Photos I have seen of the interior show various visible bulkheads, what I plan to do is build the bottom and sides of these as part of the interior and the extending the top part into the wing section to give support.

Top section removed from wing

Temp supports in place to show what the intention is

Hopefully this will be strong enough to support the wings  :nailbite:

That is looking good.

I wish the kit makers would think a bit more seriously about having detachable sections like that to be able to show off an interior.

I put a lot of effort into my Airfix  Rotodyne interior and found after I closed it up can see very little :(
