Thank you Mike but i.m.o, my claim is semi-scale, to museum-scale, a lot is missing.
But, fully motivated I put the model together today.



When I compare a top view of the original with the model > close to this.



I didn`t match the color tones but the scheme is close.
At the same time I took the opportunity to weight the plan.7,2 kg, without the engine and some scale parts. The engine with the propeller weighs 2,35 kg. So I hope (if I don`t need lead) to finish with lesser than 10 kg. I had calculated between 10 and 11 kg. Mission accomplished
Cheers,
Thomas
