Thank you very much for your nice feedback.

I have used two PE kits from Eduard interior kit FE421 and the Eduard exterior kit 48601. Tamiya, Vallejo and Alclad paints are the basis for the paint job and the entire model was weathered with the Promodeller wash. Fuel stains and streaks were made with oil paints and white spirit.

It was a great build I had almost no problems while building. Parts are mostly very detailed - in some areas I have added some brass wire to make the kit look more realistic. Instructions are easy to read and you have tons of options. The decals are very thin and with a setting solution they go on easily.

I have enjoyed every moment of the build and I think I will build another one in the near future!
