Tony Tonov Author@Skyhiker, yes indeed. This is one of the kit's marking options. The markings are rather unusual. BTW I changed the album title.
Łukasz GlińskiAwesome 👍 Nice contrast between the matt olive and semimatt cowling 👍

Thomas KolbWow, the quality of the metal work and the rigging is excellent! The model is a pleasure to behold!
Album info
This is my first model finished in 2025.
I thought it will be a quick build, but as usually I got deeper and deeper in details.
First of all I wanted to get rid of the clumsy wing struts. I am not blaming IBG at all, this is just a limitation of the technology in 1/72 scale. But why not to make them more refined? So all of the struts were replaced by brass tubes 0.3/0.5/0.8. I also added some omitted or simplified by IBG parts.
As a result attaching the wing was a pure engineering challenge 😄
But eventually this bunch of wires, tubes an plastic turned out into a tiny bijou.
For those of you mates, who might be interested, I've painted with Tamiya LP and AK Extreme metal. The wiring was stretched from AK mega thin elastic rigging. The whole build took me exactly one month.
