Hi there
Lovely job! How did the kit go together - any pitfalls?
I've got one in my stash, waiting for a place on the workbench.
All the best

Thanks for the comments , I airbrushed flat green as base coat and let it dry for a few days, then mask the camo pattern with masking tape. after that I airbrushed green brown on.
The resin engine look great but it fits tightly into the cowling, lot of sanding on the cylinder heads and inside of the cowling.
The resin wheel wells and undercarriage are featureless, all rib on the structure are missing and the retract area of the undercarriage should not be hollow.
The way of correcting the kit's inaccuracy was not that difficult, highly recommended this kit.
