This is the Hasegawa
1/48 scale kit. Construction posed no real problems, other than some minor
seam work and rescribing. The intakes are tricky, but fit nicely with some
careful planning and gluing. The kit provides positionable flaps, and an
option to cut and fold the wings.

In the cockpit, I
scratchbuilt some sidewall detail, used resin seats from Black Box, and added
photoetch MFD's.
I used the kit provided drop
tanks, AIM-9X's, and AMRAAM's, decorated with TwoBob's missile markings. The
JDAM's came from a Hasegawa weapon set.

The model was painted with Model
Master enamels, and an oil wash was applied to bring out the panel lines.
Touch up spots of varying shades were added to simulate maintenance. Kit
decals were used and went with no trouble.
