Finally!!! It is now official!! STATUS: COMPLETED 🙂
One less in the workbench, last review of this build is not too positive:

1 - The cockpit has no detail at all and no aftermarket parts 🙁 the intrument panels are just poor, ugly and black and white decals ... Thumbs down for italeri on this account

2 - the main body fusellage does not fit properly on the wings which mean that a lot of putty and sanding is required as there is at least a 2mm gap for each side

3 - The decals are supposed to be good quality from Cartograph but they are too thick and too big for the surfaces so all panel definition is lost and a lot time is wasted trying to position the decals correctly so that they may be cut in a way to have them set properly

I am happy with the result, it is not perfect nor even close but never the less an acceptable build

Please do share your critics to allow me to improve

Thank you all fellow modellers for your kind support
