This Italeri model is very pleasent to work

I cut the controls surfaces (very easely the plastic is gentle) for a more realistic look.
I made a vacuum wind screen, the Italeri is to thick.

If this is the Italeri kit, you could have thin down the too pronounced fabric covered wings and fuselage on this otherwise very nice model. The jig for a biplane is a very useful tool, one very sophisticated is available at the Aeroplane. Forza, jean.
