Based on photos taken at the Museum of Polish Aviation in Krakow.
I have seen other models with red tail tip instead of the blue, but I sort of liked the blue colour (may stand for decommissioned?).

Landing gear is of course up, and I made it bank a little using the stand included in the vintage KP kit. Sure it is a bit too low to safely retract the gears 😉

I would like to later like to alter the flaps to make it more realistic to it's banking.
