found no interior pic of the military version and have no idea how the Chinese air ambulance looked inside
used all the kit parts and followed the painting instructions

Such a beautiful plane, Reinhard! Great choice.

I think you are safe to use the painting instructions in this case, Reinhard @grimreaper
Looks very nice.

I agree with @johnb, following the instructions is a "safe" choice, Reinhard @grimreaper!

seems nobody knows the Chinese camo colours
usually in several kit instructions there´s only dark green and light grey mentioned
my dad has lots of greens and grey in his paint stash, in the end he used AK RC AII Protective Green and Tamiya XF-19 Sky Grey

some paint for the engine
if you mount it the way the kit is engineered, the cowl doesn´t fit

Camouflage colors do look great, Reinhard @grimreaper
Engine looks great as well.
Spiros Pendedekas said 2 months, 1 week ago:

The camo looks really nice, my friend @grimreaper, as does the engine. Looking forward to see how you will mount the engine.
Reinhard Spreitzhofer said 2 months, 1 week ago:

engine attached and started with the decals
they are a bit brittle, so gonna use Microscale Liquid Decal on them
