Added the rear canopy section and antenna mast today, took the masks off the main canopy and repositioned them on the inside and then sprayed the dark grey for the internal frames. added the head rest too after painting it up!

Wayne I have to dissapoint you ! Because Bazu`s mount was actualy a G4 with FuG 7a and with 650x150 mm while having mg-17 mg and 350x135mm tail wheel.
See here WorldWar2.ro Forum -> "Bazu" Cantacuzino fighter planes profiles
Also there`s an article about Bazu`s planes in an romanian magazine called AeroMagazin written by Dan Iloiu who is a very knowledgeable person

Appreciate your comments and I did review the thread you point to, however I can only go by references available to me to come up with an interpretation of the available info, which indicate a Brasov built Ga-2, of which I assume to be a late G-2 due to the wing bulges, both the G-2 Late and G-4 were essentially externally the same. in this case it appears to me to have spoked wheels and small tail wheel, this is what i see in studying the images of this aircraft and comparing it to other Ga-2/G-2/G-4 aircraft.
Essentially my interpretation appears pretty close to the mark when compared to the primary 8 o'clock reference photo. The camo is not german applied but seems to be a Romanian application, one would assume after construction in Romania.
The finish seems common to a series of aircraft with the white code letters on the rudder and those marked with numbers in the 200 range which point to the Brasov production, a fair assessment I think.

Thanks for your interest!
