It is Cpper state models "old fashion"....



present all the model would be boring, you and I will discovered it by the way..
some pics to situate the model...


Well I couldn't say I didn't know

So 5 part for the fuselage , good start...
the engine is quite well detailed as all the little parts...



Oh! and I didn't present you the instruction book because there is not...

Awesome, Xan!  What an exciting project!  I've been considering doing this or the Lohner or the AEG next, since these will be among those kits re-done in plastic by CSM.  Since you're starting this one, I'll probably do the AEG.
Really looking forward to following this build, mon ami!
Cheers,
Bud
