The wingtips on real photos of MB411s appear to be ‘square cut’ rather than rounded tip, with quite a thick section (giving an optical illusion of curved in some shots). The ‘RN’ shot appears to have curved wingtips which appear to have ‘grab handles’.

The apparent fairing on the upper fuselage (Like a DH4A one friend noted!) also seems strange.
