Thank you Wurger Geo and Vic.
To adapt the roof of the Eduard I had to create the "collars" at the front with plasticard. And before gluing it permanently I added the locking system, also self-made, of the roof. Finally I glued everything.
In the meantime I redid the navigation lights

A word of caution: the Spitfire Italiani book has some incorrect technical drawings (there never was a "B" wing of second type, for example) and the info on camo schemes is a bit outdated. In particular, there is no proof that any Mk.V in service with the Regia Aeronautics ever carried a Desert Scheme of DE/MS, but we know for certain that in 1945 those aircraft wore a version of the DFS, albeit in many cases with an apparently darker grey than the prescribed OG.
The Airframe & Miniature book also repeated the older info about these colours, IIRC, at least in its first edition.

Super Aereo yes it is true.
Your observation convinces me more and more to use DFS camouflage.
I've seen the IWM video and you can see the camouflage well.

Well,
after the various arrangements, the time has come to put my hand to the colors.
So I gave a first coat of black primer which highlighted some flaws
After making the necessary corrections I touched up with primer and gave a little metallic in the areas of greatest wear
Areas that I then covered with primer before giving the dark green
And to liven up the model a little I presented him with the propeller
You will have understood that after watching the original footage of the Italian spitfires, I abandoned the idea of doing it in MTO, even if I liked it a lot
.
See you soon

Good use of the primer to find and fix some blemishes. Coming along nicely.
