I may not be able to afford many of Miniman kits, but these kits are the stuff that dreams are made of for many of us here. I'll definitely work on saving up for this one when it's released

Just out of curiosity, how are the interior instruments going to be approached in the kit? Will they be cast in resin with fine details to be painted, colored PE, or decals?

All of the interior parts made from crisply casted resin.

Just beautiful... It's going to be a long journey, but I'm definetly going to have to save up for one of these. Based on your build it's certainly going to be worth it.
