I built
this model some time ago and used the Squadron “Walk Around” as my main
source of reference. Most of the work centered around the cockpit and wing fold
area using the references I had available. Unfortunately I managed to crack the
wind screen while polishing the thing and had to add “battle damage” in the
form of two bullet holes to cover up the crack.

The
model was airbrushed with Model Master paints and weathered using pastels
and a silver pencil. The markings were painted on using homemade stencils.
Although
I build mainly jet aircraft, I found this to be an enjoyable build and could not
resist adding the Andrea Miniature figures that I had lying around for some
time. These and the aircraft were eventually put onto a suitable wooden carrier
deck base from Nautilus models.
