I will build it as the aircraft flown by  P/O Pierre Closterman when he was serving with the 602 Squadron in Normandy in 1944

Good evening

 This Week end I closed the fuselage and after a few dry test fitting I decided to place the part of the lower wing on the fuselage

Good evening

Thank you Steve Eduard had the very good idea to propose the decoration of one the aircraft He flew and since The Big Circus is one of my favourite book I had to build one of his aircraft ..

 Today I started painting the upper surfaces in Ocean Grey and also made a try with Dark Green
