I only and sincerely hope that you quadruple checked your references that the original plane didn't have an "Airfix" molded on the cockpit side walls - lest you have to scratch new ones. 😉

I'm in. Got the Airfix kit and the Pavla detail set in my stash, but I'm thinking about replacing it with the AVI kit. I think your report will be a big help there.

Great! The Bird Dog Society has begun. I have felt a great disturbance in the Force, but I remembered that Łukasz is a great tamer of hard plastics 😉
It looks like those photo-etches are doing a good job 👌

So... if the AVI kit is destined for the representation of Major Buang-Ly's plane... I'm also eager to see what the Airfix kit will be...

You're absolutely right Alex - AVI's going to be Major's BirdDog and Airfix is destined to be boxart DJ-coded one.
I was thinking of Maltese markings for it, but there are none available.
Cuajete, the PE are quite good, but the Airwaves set has quite unclear hand-drawn instructions, which is challenging sometimes.
Nicolas, wish I could fetch the Pavla tail set, I need to try restoring the raised lines after having to remove the injection marks.

I'd wish there would be a conversion kit to a Siai SM 1019. But I think I have to scratchbuild the different cowling, propeller and tailsection.
