A small model of a small aircraft! it's as if they gave you the decals for the instrument panel, how nice of them. I hope you get to finish this soon as envisioned!

Silvio, what do you think of the panel lines, seems rather un-sharp (or soft) for that scale?

[BsYamato]

Panel lines are a little exagerated ,sure out of scale but good gor my brushes
The camo I choose I think will cover partially this excessive engraved look
