I don't think I posted the finished product from the P-36 thread from last year (!).
Here it is, built as Finnish CU-563. Another shelf queen from years ago that I vowed to complete during COVID lockdown. Found the scheme on this site:
www.asisbiz.com
Luckily the markings are simple, and I had the right numbers and national insignia from a 30-year old sheet. Brush painted.
The only thing I added is a cockpit interior, using images I found on that site, apparently intended to be used for as skins computer wargaming. I printed out the cockpit interior, figured out the reduction for 1/72 (I think it was about 68%?) and added plastic bits for relief and glued it inside. Works surprisingly well. I used the wheel well images too. Fishing line antennas. The canopy and windscreen were sort of mis-shapen from the old mold so the fit is not good... Oh well...
