No IFF antenna hatch. So does that mean this aircraft had the "cheese-cutter" IFF wires from the tips of the horizontal stabs to the fuselage?

By that time, the "cheese cutter" IFF was long gone. I would have thought that this aircraft would have the dipole IIF antenna under the starboard wing.

I agree but thought I'd ask because I recall seeing a photo of an early IX converted from a V that had the wires still. EN398 I believe.
Good work so far!

Hello,
The work of these last days:
Some work/modification on the engine hood
I glued resin wing tips and added putty; sanding and re-engraving soon...
Work on the landing gear with some problem to fix...
But I decided to use Eduard leg covers for a better shape => done !

Hello,
Work on some details
The next work will be to install exhausts and engine hood before the assembly wings/fuselage and I think this step will be "sporty"
=> sand to get the correct fit, paying attention to the dihedral...!!!
and put wedges in the fuselage to correct the gap (or maybe some putty)

A few nice little additions Steph, not liking those gaps though but I know you'll fix them.
