That might seem a bit harsh, but the decal on the side of the fuselage and the Wikipedia entry both identify this post-war aircraft as part of the cartographic services if the Swedish government. They may have flown over Sweden mapping, but they could also have been taking vertical pictures elsewhere.

There are several internet images of the actual aircraft either parked or flying. This and its sisters bore several liveries in their time – in this case it deviates a tad form the box are in the the top black panels are missing – yet they are also missing on the photo I am basing the build upon. I don’t mind either way, but since I can clearly see one option, I’ll take that.

Glory Be – the canopy fits fine. All that work paid off. Clear plastic parts are always the weakest point of a kit, but one of the most visually important ones. I just wish they were less brittle.

SE-KAM will be a visitor on the Luftplatz Strelsau from here on in – at least until I build more Swedish planes to accompany it.
