I think you have roundels wrong way around on the wings.Interesting "aluminium"texture -is this yours or Bruno's?

I'm not sure about the roundels but I think they're correct.

Aluminium texture is mine.

While I'm not sure Cuban aircraft carry markings on their wings, it would be more
correct for a flat edge to face forward, like the fuselage flat face is facing up.

Here's the picture from the era.

That's what my books are showing ,but maybe this particular plane (or a batch?) was done incorrectly ether in USSR or Czechoslovakia,wherever they came from.It's been done before many,many times.

Cuban Air Force markings are not something that I know anything about. I have been able to find very few photographs on the Internet. Lots of paintings, drawings, and models, but few photographs. The images seem to support all three positions: no roundels on wings, flat side forward, and pointy side forward.

Kacper's image shows the pointy side forward, but this photo of Cuban Stearmans shows the flat side forward: Boeing Images - Stearman Kaydet Trainer, Cuban Airforce Model A73B1.

Since my ignorance of the subject is total, I will sit back and see what evidence comes forward.

In any event, it is a very nice repaint, and it is kind and generous of you to share it.

Don

Well, it's hard to argue with that evidence...
