Very nice. A couple of points for you; it looks like there is no bomb rack. The mules were fitted with a ETC50 4 station bomb rack under the fuselage, but because of weight restrictions only ever mounted 2 bombs. Also the conversion gives you the late style wing blisters for the wheel wells but using the kit upper wings still leaves you with the early style wheels wells and the narrow G-6 kit wheels. Since the Avias were G-10 conversions they used the later style larger wheels.

 

Not sure how into the details you are but just FYI if you are.

Never noticed that some have sliding canopies. Will be an interesting build.
