I hate to be a killjoy, but I can see plenty wrong with this one. You can't use a Mk1 glazing on a Mk2 as the whole nose was much more pointed, there were fewer glazing bars and the central keel rib was deeper as it had to carry the control cable runs. Hell's teeth, from the bulkhead forward the Mk2 nose was a totally new design with very few parts in common. On the otherhand they appear to have got the modifications to the main fuselage correct although I just can't make out if they've changed the landing skid shock absorber to the steel spring version.

It would be nice if the nose could be opened and closed after assembly so the crew and jeep could be seen-and for diorama options.
