here is my finished "rata" Mongolia, 1939.







Built OOB except for aluminum tubing for the wing machine guns. Scratch build pitot tube.

Overall, this was a very enjoyable build. Only issue was the landing gear is extremely fiddly. Took forever to get the gear doors aligned correctly.

I tried pre-shading for the first time. Please let me know what you all think.

Thanks for looking!
