Making some progress with this.
I ordered the PART exterior PE set for this and it seems to have a lot of duplicated parts that were already included with the kit. In some cases, the kit parts look better. For instance, the wing parts, I ended up using the kit supplied PE as it was wider and had more detail.
Started the landing gear PE, there are quite a few parts to this and I've decided to go with un-spatted gear.
The prop hub, this will be entirely covered in PE panels when done
One wing attached and PE added, I used a rivet tool to make rivets in the wing and body. One side done!
The kit is well molded but a few pieces suffer from severe sink marks, like the prop pieces
and finally, I just added some braces to the inside of the wings to give them some strength.

Coming along nicely Warren 
I love this peculiar little bird .
Hard to believe but that prop actually looks worse that the ones on my little Widgeon
Good luck, Christian B)

Don't think I've seen that much PE on external of an aircraft.

Fantastic job warren. I'm going to have to steel that idea to brace the wing before assembly.
