Painted free hand with Gunze acrylic and toned down with some drop of white, the light blue came from Agama color range.

The 7,62mm machines gun, 20 cannons barrel and the pitot tube are made with hypodermic needle. Also the ignition cables of the rockets was replaced with small wire.
The gear down indicator on the wings and gun sight on the nose are from PE scraps.
Exhausts in resin are from QuickBoost.

My best from Italy.
