Maybe it shows too much on the kit, but I recall one or two pictures where 
the structure or the plywood laminations showed up in the fuselage as slight 
ondulations.

If you get the datafle on the type, it has one of the most beautiful sets of 
drawings published, as the artist was Steve Simkin and it shows that he 
loved the airplane.
Thanks for the review!
