Building the interior walls and ceiling at the same time isn't a bad idea. Or at least rough in the interior (especially the panel) before texturing the exterior. Most of the descriptions of how to do this (from the early days of 3D cockpits) talked about doing the interior second, but that was probably because a lot of the models were started without thought of 3D cockpits.
