This exquisite resin kit from SBS took very little time to
build thanks to its high quality. It won't build itself, though, and as any
good kit it also requires care, patience, and a modicum of experience. SBS
continuous search for improvements and new approaches to kit-making is
commendable, their casts impeccable, the level of detail high, and the
engineering excellent. Their extensive line of racers and civil planes is a
delight to watch and build. Unlike other renditions of this plane, it has the small step at the
front of the windshield with a little clear pane like the original. The aftermarket availability of the wooden supports makes it easier for the modeler to present the model.
For a few notes please refer to the step-by-step building post:

Yes, it's so beautiful that I build two! (although from different kits, to have some variety).
What a magnificient plane, unlike anything else in it's day...if only it didn't have the damned fasces on it's flanks. This plane really is a testament to both human ingenuity and artistry but also human cruelty
