The building article

describes the many modifications (among them an interior and landing gear) made to this odd-scale kit to bring what it was to start a very decent and actually remarkable standard for its time to a more contemporary level of detail.

The kit, that was gifted to me (Thanks Liz and Jeff!) was
missing and engine fascia, which was scratched, as well as several external
details particular to this version.
The Arctic Decals set was a tremendous help for this
project.
There is a 1/72 kit of this plane, and decals will be
available for it too.
In spite of the weight installed in the nose, the model
tends to sit on its tail, so I propped it for the photos, but in display a
small piece of blue-tack under the nose wheel will do.
A more involving project of what I thought, and therefore turning construction a bit lengthy,
the final product nevertheless is the reward.
A beautiful bird!!
