Nice little kit. Plastic is very nice and fit had been very good. Pilot cannot walk as I did not install him before putting the fuselage together. He has lost his legs.

Finally hit it with some paint.

I like the camo .

 

[Ron2]

Got a bit done today. Will apply filters tomorrow.

 

[Ron2]

Filter and panel liner. Added decals. Much better than my striker so far!

 

[Ron2]

Added the rockets after drilling exhaust. Touched up some of the exhaust. Now I've got it sitting in the garage so this dry 100 degree weather can do its thing and I'll be able to varnish and finish exhaust later today. Another few weeks and I'll be very limited on my outdoor painting sessions.

 

[Ron2]

Worked on exhaust a bit today, touched up panel liner and hit it with another clear coat. Need to do some more exhaust work and will probably hit rockets with a wash to dull them a bit- too bright of a white imo.

 

[Ron2]

Wrapped this up although I may strip the canopy and do it over again. My hands were not exactly steady while painting it by hand. I liked this kit though.

 

[Ron2]

And the underside.

Very nice. Camo looks great. Do you not like using paint masks for canopies?

Cool. Great colour combo, especially the internal wheel wells.
Those wing mounted missiles look huge!

Thanks. I thought they seemed a little out of scale but it's what the kit came with.
