Can you explain: "Italeri model needs some cosmetic treatment, including fuselage extension" Why was it needed and what specifically did you do to correct?

Well yeah, but I was just wondering if it was to get a better fit of the tail or was it a drawing comparison. Also, was there any other glaring corrections that needed to be done. Inquiring minds wanna know, especially if they have like nine kits based off of this mold series.
I see. The correction was for getting of better fitting of the tail IMHO. If it would be the drawing comparison , the "surgery" on the main parts would be needed for sure.

Comparing to plans, fuselage in Italeri model is too narrow in center section.
This drawing, taken from Dornier Do 217 monography by "Air Show"-Kagero publications, shows how to improve the problem :

To explain language difficulties:
Left fuselage drawing- before improvement. right- after.
Note that only upper part of fuselege is widen- that generate problems with wing geometry, and canopy fit.
To be solved by liquid putty and file/sandpaper...
