Erwin BOVYNGood luck on this one, still busy on mine. Can recommend the Eduard PE set for this aircraft.

Thomas Bischoffanother Dornier in the making ... only one tiny critic: if you use e.g. a sheet of white paper as a background it would make all the difference.

Erwin BOVYNLook out for the gap between cockpit and body. The cockpit in the Italeri version (probably the same as Testors) is a big too wide.
