Small adjustments were the engines including open cowling, modified rudder position and slightly extended flaps, the main landing gear had to give way to the rear and the associated flaps were revised.

The painting was done with Humbrol matt aluminum and the bottom with Aircraft Gray FS16473. The finish was created with Pro Modeler.
