I personally don't think the interior of the cockpit should be visible on these either, and the stuff behind the other windows just makes it look messy. It doesn't fit well with the black outlined style of the rest. Regardless, it's the style I've chosen to use and therefore I'm keeping it consiste...

What you are referring to are various forms of interior details such as seats, passengers, and window shad...
L-1011-600 Bistar/Dash 600 IRL Background: Lockheed's first foray into a twin-engine Tristar derivative began in 1973 with the CL-1600.

Back in October for the Cold War Primary Trainer Challenge, I mentioned that the Philippines and Mexico had also been operators of my entry, the Piper PA-50. Here are the schemes for their aircraft, as well as a pair of modern civilian operators. Better (three months) late than never, I suppose! Mex...
