Having tracked down a copy of the Supermodel kit I need some info on the cockpit interior - layout (I know it's a tandem arrangement but does anyone have pictures or plans?), colour scheme (verde anticorrosione?), etc.
Seems to be a bit of an obscure aircraft (pretty though)...
Graeme,
The definitive detail reference on this aircraft, which I recommend highly, is:
