Finally finished, glad to be done with the "fiddly bits" stage for sure.

Thanks bughunter! I should also add the molded on seatbelts Revell provided are not the best, but I got a case of the lazies and didn't replace them all with tape. To be fair,there are nine seats.

Struggling how, with the dreaded yellow paint and lack of coverage?

Jup, I will try to use a white primer instead of a light grey. I also want all doors open and dont know how to protect the interiour

@Qwertzel You can try to put in a layer of foam, e.g. the one Eduard used for safely pack accessories. Cut it little big bigger then the door and squeeze the foam into the door cut out. And/or use moistened pieces of paper handkerchiefs. This is more helpful around smaller openings - I use this for example to mask the engine for painting the cowling. After it dried it gets "stable" and can easily removed after the paint job.

Qwertzel, bughunter has it exactly right, that is what I did. Worked perfectly. For the rear doors, I masked the roof and floor parts with tape, then used the foam. Side doors, just a square piece of foam a little oversize as bughunter suggests. For the yellow, white primer can work but believe it or not, pink is also a good color for priming yellow areas.
