Ian,

The front dashboard slips into small slots from the front pan. The backside of the dash, (or in fact the side that is in front of the airplane....) has to be supported by a bracket or someting You have to glue into the fuse yourselves. My friend Leo already made this one, I did not get this far.
I will make you a picture to show how far I got until now.
I think the front dash is a liitle bit off scale, too large I guess, combined with the too small scale pilots the result is the poor guy flies IFR all the time, he is just staring at the panel, not overlooking it.

But indeed the cockpit inside will be 3 pieces, I don't mind, easier to install as a one piece.
BTW did You notice in my last pics the balsa T-bar on the middle plate, that also is a bottom support for the back cockpit pan.
