Started out correcting the cabin window issue and hence moving the windmill. Added photoetch seats and a few details to cockpit and detailed turrets and ventral hatch with various perks. The kit is of course covered with the classic rivets of my childhood and a good part of the BR-20s external surface is fabric covered so I sanded sections of the wing smooth. I masked fabric simulation and added layered coats of primer. I had an RCR Models detail set that thankfully included lovely cowlings,rudders and engines to which I added pushrods. Closed up wheel wells and added structure and polished all clear parts. Used Aeromaster Grigorio mimetico, Models Master military brown and Vallejo Pale green and Yellow ochre. I patterned my camoflage on the profile in the Arawasi publication "Eagle Eye #3 - Mitsubishi Ki-21 "Sally" & Fiat BR.20 "Cicogna" in hinomaru" with some modifications to the tail area based on photographs and some guesswork. Other items used were Eduard masks, Airone Hobby 7.7 mm & 12.7 mm guns & Kora decals. And I had to make that gun barrel groove behind the upper turret.

Very nice work! What a pity the Germans did not supply Japan with their beautiful He 111s...
