KP Models' 1/48th Scale SIAI SF-260D - Kit Number KPM4815

I usually post box images I took but the boxes of the kits I received were damaged so I am using 'official' KP artwork:

All main kit parts are on one sprue. Unfortunately, the one piece lower wing tore off the sprue tree:

Lots of easy, but avoidable, work to repair the gouges left when the lower wing tore off due to rough handling of the package...

How does it build?

It is as rough kit for sure! Starting point at left, where I am on right...

I never make it easy on myself!

Wheel wells are too shallow, an object of pantographing up a 72nd scale model to 1/48th scale.

At first I thought that the KP Models' kit might be a re-boxing of the Special Hobby 1/48 SIAI-Marchetti SF.260AM/M/W (Kit SH48207) that I bought awhile ago, but it appears by the sprue layouts that they are 2 completely different kits. I am glad that I got the Special Hobby kit, as it appears to have finer detail than the KP kit.
I plan to build mine as one of the trainers that the Royal Thai AF uses (USED?).
