Hi all,

My second entry in this GB...

Using spare decals from other kits and "one of a kind" printed code letters it will be in markings of the Light Aviation component of the Belgian army as used in the 1960's.

I build that a while ago.

Two things: the air intake will not fit in the gap under engine cowling.

If you want to close cowlings: the bulkhead between cockpit and engine should be flush with fuselage. If it sticks out a bit then you'll have a gap between fuselage and cowlings. Also you may want to leave as much engine pieces out of it, it's a little on the big side.
