Thank you :)

I have tweaked the design slightly (nose cowling area, wheel spat rivets) and finished the changes needed for the 'bis' version, so I should have maybe a dozen eventually...

These are the final 'standard' versions - except the Chinese one... they got something like prototypes, which lacked the cooling fins on the nose...

Very nice profiles Clave!

The small fin on the nacelle below the top wing, a gun smoke exhaust? Unique to the Fiat or should all enclosed nacelle mounted guns have them?

Interesting question, and I don't know the answer - logically you would always have a vent for smoke, and there is probably a lot of pressure there too...

The only thing that springs to mind is the Hunter which has smoke nozzles above the cartridge collecting fairings:
