    This cutie model comes from A-model Russia. I added some more detail to inside of the kit. I re-made all seat parts from my  spare parts box. I added a cockpit dash-board with radio panel and made a fire extinguisher for the cockpit. I also made cross-bars from sprue which are visible behind the cockpit glass.

    I've also added some more details to fuselage. The original exhausts and pipes were slightly over scale, so that I re-made them using plastic parts and copper tubes.  I had slight difficulty while attaching the wing to fuselage. Other parts fit easily.

    I used Tamiya acrylics for the paint.  The model comes with decals for 8 aircraft. I finished my Wilga in Ukrainian colors and markings which are the same as the Turkish Wilgas paint scheme.
