Thanks! The main radial engine parts are part of this kit, but I added some extra detail with a PE saw (panel lines) and some thin plasticard (cowl flap extensions).The engine itself got some push-rods and the crankcase was shortened, so the prop would sit deeper. The prop spinner also received a base plate.

Great finish of this old kit 👍
Nice colours, though I still lean towards the opinion it was painted in RLM61 RLM62 RLM63 scheme.
I have a feeling I've seen it somewhere online some time ago, am I right?

Thanks all!
@Łukasz Gliński; I was a bit unsure of the 61-62-63 combo as I don't know if the Hungarians used the same colours as He 70s in the Spanish Civil War.
I have posted this model elsewhere on the web, but that's only quite recent; like last week. So it is likely someone else's model that you may have seen before, as I think I have seen it as well.
