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technical drawings (there never was a "B" wing of second type, for example) and the info on camo schemes is a bit outdated.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.
