I built this kit
straight out of the box, the kit fit together very nicely and requires
almost no filler and you can tell that a lot of thought has gone into how the
kit is put together. The cockpit is fairly detailed so all I
needed to do was add seatbelts which I did using strips of electrical tape
and the canopy is thinner than most which is a bonus.

The only down-side kit
wise is the fact that the decals are very thick and tend to silver. I
decided to airbrush my stripes rather than use the decals
provided and I think that this has turned out for the best. I have also lightly
weathered the model using the pro modeller black weathering wash,
however the flash doesn't really show this which is a shame. I also
used pastels to do a little weathering around the exhaust and in the wheel
wells.
This is my first
model submission to ARC, this kit was very enjoyable to build although
airbrushing the stripes was an absolute nightmare. I hope you like the pictures!
