This is the new Airfix re-tool kit. It's an OOB build and only required a few touch ups. Modelmaster paints throughout and a masking set for the glass.

I chose the alternate Romanian markings (a small number of the type were exported there in 1939) and did some careful weathering to enhance to detail.

The antenna wire is 1 lb fishing line, painted black, with CA glue insulators.
