1/48 Czech model T-34C-1 Turbo Mentor

The Beechcraft T-34C-1 Turbo Mentor is a plane used by the Ecuadorain Air Force as a trainer and the Ecuadorian Navy for coast exploration.  My model (AN-223) was made based on the navy version. 

Last year in July, IPMS Guayaquil was invited to show model in Navy anniversary and I got opportunity to walkaround photos and learn details about this interesting plane.

About my model, it's very inaccurately to joint the two main parts.  Also I added clear parts on the wing tips and antennas cables and the exhausts were modified.

Paint used was white from Tamiya and decals are from Andean Decals who offer three versions of the Ecuadorian Turbo Mentors (good quality decals).
 
I hope you enjoy my model.

Regards from Ecuador.
