Yes, surgery ; but not finished yet...
First, I've added some instruments in the cockpit. I've also ameliorated the gunner'seat.
Then I've watched how the engine nacelles would fit... Not simple of course ; the parts where the wheel legs will be fixed was too large and I've to sand them. In addition, the leg have to be fixed to just a little relief (see photo 4) : I'm not confident for the strongness of the trains with that system ! So I've reinforced it with Evergreen on top of that location (Evergreen will be hidden in the nacelles...)

The tails asked also for some work : the fixation plots (positionned on the horizontal part) are too little and the same size than the present flash... So I removed them and created new plots, inverting the male/female positions.
Some extra work also on the top of the parts, with the use of PVC glue to give some volume...

Still working on the engine nacelles : Evergreen is used to help good placement of the engines

Well, the period just before may 1940 was a "panic" period for Belgian politicians that asked to the army elements to reinforce what they had diminued in value...
De facto, Belgian ordered lot of aircraft types that unfortunately didn't have seen entry in service : Brewster Buffalo, SABCA S.47, Renard 38, Spitfire MK I, Grumman Wildcat...

Well, ICM realized 3 boxings of the Benz: First is the Benz with plastic spoked wheels, the second is the vehicle with PE wheels (this is the kit I've chosen) and the third is with PE wheels and figures of mrs Benz and her two sons.

Other parts were also "wood" painted and the half wheels were airbrushed in black. To be noted the presence of elements of other kits/figures on my plank...

On a white base, I've airbrushed Tamiya XF-60 then applied oil paint Mars Brown. Now, I've to wait that the oil becomes dry...

Engines (resin) must be reduced to fit in the nacelles...
The photoetched elements are added to the bombs and the seat...
The interior of the gunner post asked also for some work ; the floor was too long of 2mm.

Funny to note that there is 12 ammos in the kit but that 13 are needed : 12 on the interior of the fuselage AND one on the machinegun !
I've created the missing one using original ones, placed on a sheet of Evergreen and covered with liquid mask to create a mould ; then I've filled the mould with miliput. Result is perfect.
