As is possible to see, kit requires a lot of sanding.

Kit's general arrangement. Note different engines' options.

![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/3/9/9/824399-31015-91-720.jpg)
First step of primer
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/4/0/0/824400-31015-32-720.jpg)
Some "surgery" was required in order to attach new engine (Venezuelan version was powered with Hispano-Suiza engine"
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/4/0/1/824401-31015-46-720.jpg)
Improvement the interior with styrene

Seat an interior, made in scratch
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/4/0/5/824405-31015-41-720.jpg)
Some scratch in order to improve the fuselage interior
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/4/0/6/824406-31015-38-720.jpg)
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/4/0/7/824407-31015-59-720.jpg)
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/4/0/8/824408-31015-56-720.jpg)
As noted, Hispano-Suiza engine option does not match with fuselage; a new "surgery" is required
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/4/0/9/824409-31015-49-720.jpg)
Fortunately, styrene sheet "V-groove" match with the fuselage exterior.........
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/4/1/0/824410-31015-10-720.jpg)
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/4/1/1/824411-31015-79-720.jpg)
Here, with adapted engine....
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/4/1/2/824412-31015-94-720.jpg)
As you will see at next picture; provided wheels are very difficult to clean-up due to excess of plastic. I decided to make my own wheels, using little pieces of wire and put the together .....
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/4/1/3/824413-31015-59-720.jpg)
Here provided wheels; as indicated before, excess of plastic is very difficult to clean.
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/4/1/4/824414-31015-58-720.jpg)
cutting wheels' "two faces" and making a "sandwich" with the wire's arrangement ............
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/4/1/5/824415-31015-95-720.jpg)
Here the final results; cutting excess of wire, covering the area with putty and sanding
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/4/1/6/824416-31015-74-720.jpg)
Now, masking the tires in order to paint the wheels itself with dark green
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/4/1/7/824417-31015-21-720.jpg)
Here, final results...
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/4/1/8/824418-31015-62-720.jpg)
As no pin or any reference to install the wing, I used these jigs..

General view with upper wing
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/4/2/0/824420-31015-85-720.jpg)
Installing wheels and supports. Prop was painted in oil colors in order to simulate wood.
![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/4/2/1/824421-31015-55-720.jpg)
Here the armament; double Lewis installation; very nice improvement
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/4/2/2/824422-31015-21-720.jpg)
Lower attachements

![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/4/2/4/824424-31015-86-720.jpg)
![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/4/2/5/824425-31015-34-720.jpg)
the lower surface of upper wing came very "flat"; without any sign of visible structure typical of that age. I decide to simulate the ribs using styrene strips
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/4/2/6/824426-31015-96-720.jpg)
![Album image #34 Album image #34](/albums/img/4/2/8/824428-31015-32-720.jpg)

Armament kit
![Album image #37 Album image #37](/albums/img/4/3/1/824431-31015-99-720.jpg)
Here, the kit with painted Lewis .....
![Album image #38 Album image #38](/albums/img/4/3/3/824433-31015-26-720.jpg)
those supports provided by the kit are very short; I decided to make them..........
![Album image #39 Album image #39](/albums/img/4/3/4/824434-31015-25-720.jpg)
I added some improvement regarding prop's attachments

Brave choice and incredible perseverance. I have the same kit and it's hard to believe it can be built so nicely.
Will use your pics as a reference once I'm going to get courageous enough to start it 😄

Oh my! I second Lukasz's comment: I also have this kit in my stash, but by the time I would have the skills to deal with it (in some decades...) I'm sure a new kit would have appeared! You did a wonderful job, congratulations! 👍 👍

thanks a lot for you comments; certainly, it is a very difficult kit with no too much references in the web for improvements...

The photos of the finished piece are too dark to see all your work. I'd love to see this plane in the same light as your construction photos.
