Not a new project, this was started on March 25th 2018 but soon did rest on the shelf of doom. Now my dad dares to continue it.
Back then , started a build thread on Britmodeller, will copy that until the actual progress.

Using the original Classic Airframes kit with decals from the new Special Hobby re-boxing. (The CA kit has fewer resin parts)

The SH kit now has better engineering and some more parts for the cockpit. But with this CA kit you have to do some scratchbuilding.

the Special Hobby kit has better engineering and more parts for the cockpit frame, with the CA kit, it would have been better to do the frame and then glue it into the fuselage, but for that some scratchbuilding is neccessary, which my dad doesn´t really like...

new parts from the SH kit, the seats are from the CA one
