The cockpit is very puritanical, but unfortunately there is not enough documentation on it. The fit of the parts is very poor and needs a lot of filling and sanding.

My biggest issue was fitting the seat and the mid portion of the wheel bay, had to add 1 mm plastic card on both sides. Looking forward seeing it done! 👍

komoras, I encountered the same problem: the landing gear bay cannot be fitted where it is intended. I used a milling head to remove enough of it to fit.

Interesting aircraft, interesting build.
Incidentally, I would suggest 'Spartan' as a better way to describe the cockpit rather than 'puritanical'. 👍

Finished. Unfortunately it has a few mistakes, but an interesting item for my collection.

Looks fabulous. Good job, Csaba!

Thank you!
Something I noticed after the model was finished: the drawing in the painting instructions shows a circular hatch or cover on the top of the fuselage, in front of the cabin. At first I thought I had sanded it down and not scratched it back, but in that photo, when it's not primed, you can see that it wasn't on the fuselage. I don't know if it was on the original plane.
Also missing from the right wing tip is a pitot tube or antenna, which is visible in the original photos, but I didn't notice it until too late.
