Finished off. I had terrible trouble with the transfers they were thin and brittle and not very well printed with some colours bleeding into the bordering colour. I tried to fit the fuselage stripes but once they were on any movement to get the alignment right tore them. So I found a pair of arrows in my stash and used them instead.

Thanks it was shall we say challenging.
Very much a mid sixties kit the transparencies were particularly bad they looked like they had been moulded by a one eyed man riding a runaway horse.

If I was going to build another I would throw away the transparencies, get some engines and propellers. I wouldn't paint it all over brown either.
 
That is a bit brilliant. I've long lusted after one of these, time I took steps to consummate the relationship.
 
Very nice work!
I built the same kit a while back but without your wonderful interior inprovements. Once it was painted I lost interest and never finished it. All that huge expanse of brown was too much for me
