Hi Everyone.

This is my recent model and I built it simply "OOB", because it is an excellent kit from Tamiya and in my opinion it was not necessary add more details.  The only modification that I made was the change of markings for the plane flown by Francis S. Gabreski, one of the best American pilots to act in the Europe.  I bought the decals from the Techmod firm and I built one of the most beautiful versions of this plane.

For the painting, I used Revell enamels, and the weathering was done with pastels and oils.

Hope you enjoy it.

Francisco
