Good evening

I enter this Gb with the Italeri rebox of the Platz T 33 in 1/72 scale I will represent an aircraft of the Groupement Ecole 314 at Tours Air Base in 1962 ..

 

The  Box art

 

The sprues

 

The decals sheet

 

I use the Eduard detailling set and  Truedetail resin seats

And the side panels

Those instrument panels really are excellent.

Nice job so far.

If you don't mind, I'd like to know which paint/shade you used for the NMF.
