    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

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

    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

    The camo looks really nice, my friend @grimreaper, as does the engine. Looking forward to see how you will mount the engine.

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