This
kit was one of new Revell toolings and was built OOB. The fit was very
good, no filler needed. Details were nice too, main shortcoming was thick
and bad fitting canopy (finally I only sat it
on place without glue – maybe eventually I replace it
with vacform canopy). The kit was airbrushed with Humbrol MetalCote, details
with Revell enamels and Agama alcohol based colors.

Markings
depict an aircraft of the 15AF, 306FS, 325FG fighting over Europe. National
insignia decals were from the box, personal markings (ie Margie II. No. 51 and
tail checkerboards) were created in CorelDraw and printed using LaserJet on
clear decal film. Panel lines were emphasized using future tinted black,
the same method was used for darkening several panels. Final coat was
airbrushed Humbrol satin varnish, exhaust stains were done with pastel chalk.
Happy
modelling
