I've had this model a while and it's always been in need of a rebuild so I've now decided she'll go from XV113's camo scheme into a Baby Blue and Silver livery that G-APRO currently wears.

So I've got plenty of resin spare seats in the spares box so I dug out 2 small doe the pilot seats and 1 big for the back passenger seat.
I also found some Resin control yokes and a spare instrument panel from the Special Hobby Marchetti SF-260

As you can see I decided that she needed some D-Day Stripes!

I decided to just get on with it and just finish the model!

I couldn't find a matching roundal in my decal stash so I went with matching what the original kit came with.

I also added a Squadron badge and a polish flag as that's what pictures ɓ

Is this an old project coming back to life?

Yes it is, I was given this model as built but very battered but at the time it could stay as it wasn't a priority.
Last year I happened to pick it up off the display unit again and with how bad the decals had further deteriorated I decided it was time for an overhaul.
It's finished now though!
