the two servos for tail surfaces are mounted in lower part of fuselage under the cockpit area with a "hatch" lightly glued in place.
1.2mm pushrods used that needed no extra support.
Yes, servoinstall could been done before glued on the skin, i must confess
i was unshure where to place them, before the build was rather complete, and a CG check could be done.

No, its not fully true to the original. Eg does original have a midsection of wing seemed to be a standalone part.(detachable wings?? )
But by doing that, i will loose the strength of wing. It needed be buildt othwerwise with eg two cf tubes, and connectors then. Here i will "make that shape" resemblanced by shadowed airbrush use.
Roundels perhaps should been bigger , as seems is more original of the time (original plane dont have them in pictures though) but the stickers easy to make now, wasnt bigger .
Front cowl i made in "alusilver" paint, orginally seems be painted same color as rest of fuselage. The alusilver cowl looks better.
its a discussion on the tail colors around too... some says blue was "always" first of the Tri-color pattern.... but found pictures/info showed otherwise. I made it like is done

- you know... anything can be made, its the way to get there who is the work
. Creativity, finding solutions on how, and dont be afraid if it get wrong, is the way.
