PZL-Mielec An-2T "Colt" Estonian Air Force "40 yellow"

As usual, construction starts with the cockpit. I have built the An-2 kit by Trumpeter, and it has its issues in terms of fit and accuracy, but I hope it turns out better this time. As with the Latvian "Colt", I applied white on the handles of the yokes, according to photos. 

Fuselage halves painted on the inside (Mr. Hobby H71 for the passenger cabin and H67 for the cockpit). I'll paint the cabin floor black. 

Hint 1: you must clip the rectangular parts from the bulkhead, or else they will obstruct the rear cockpit door. I thought there was no need for precision with this work, so I did it with a pair of diagonal pliers. 

The fuselage halves went together perfectly (with just a little sanding at the vertical stabilizer), but this is where the easy part of the assembly ends. I'm going to paint the inside of the engine compartment with Mr. Hobby H339 (Engine Gray), as with my previous An-2 models. Several sources suggest some kind of olive green as the main exterior colour, but when looking at photos, I found that H340 (Field Green) is much closer to the actual colour of the aircraft. 

Hint 2: the air intake on the top of the engine cowling is too large, and it's incorrectly placed by the attachment pin. I cut almost half of it in height (I might have overdone it this time, my bad...), and removed the attachment pin. It should be placed about 0,5 mm behind the panel line that runs around the cowling. 

Hint 3: the position of the oil radiator on the bottom has to be corrected, as the attachment hole is far ahead of the position it should be (according to the real An-2). The front of the intake should be about 8,5 mm behind that panel line in front of the cowling, which means it's right above the attachment hole, so the hole needs to be filled. I solved this by cutting the attachment pin from the oil radiator part, and glued it into the hole (the fit isn't perfect, but I easily filled the gap around the pin with a little glue). The other problem is that the side of the radiator that's adjacent to the fuselage is completely flat, so it won't fit; however, this is also easy to solve by sanding it with sanding paper attached to something cylindrical. I also find the shape of the radiator itself incorrect (the original is not cylindrical in shape), but I made no attempts to correct it.
