    Looks great, Bernard (@lis). Camo and decals came together nicely. This is a fairly large model in 1/48.

    After many corrections hatch was repainted and weathered. In kit You have option to make it open with MG in open position or closed. Of course I choose option with open position with brass aftermarket Vickers MG.

    @felix. Idea to buy new kit is very good because it will be new Ia version. I wish they make RAAF version in future with Twin Wasp Engines.

    Hatch will look good with a machine gun, Bernard (@lis). I am not sure if I would want to man such an exposed position on the real plane.

    Position lamps looks easy to cut, but red one was cutten badly from frame and I have extra work to fill gap by clear glue. It takes me a lot of time. Very upsetting.
