The aircraft is essentially finished.
My improvements: Painted tires on wheels and Improved engine (I used wires). Now I'm going to do on the mat.

Very nice, any ABC model from 1972 takes a lot of effort to make look good!

Thanks
I made a pad (A4 format). I used a grass carpet for railway modellers. I modified the front wind deflector according to the real aircraft.

Supplemented dashboard and pilot. The pilot is a plastic figurine (I painted myself)

...model is finished...I added a figure of mechanic and navigator. Accessories are from diorama "Italy 1944 accessories" from Mr. Navratila, I did the tools myself (for the repairman)

Black and White pictures always add a sense of realism to old aircraft.
