2) The size of the front part of the fuselaje
3) Improve the cowling
4) New interior cockpit
5) New canopy
6) Increase the thickness of the elevator
7) Increase the thickness of wing tips
8) Make all the panels lines a new
9) Replace the engine (clone from the B25 Italeri kit)
10) Reduce the thickness of the main wheel doors
11) New exhaust pipes

So far my father has made 3 of them. Here are the photos
