This is my favourite plane in prop driven
category, especially this version. The model is basically built OOB. I
found the building process straightforward, and I had no problems during it,
no fit problems, great detail all over. (Better than the Hasegawa kit!) The
small additions were addition of transparent position lights, brake wires on
gear legs from copper wire, replacing gun barrels in the wing roots. I've also
added antenna wires from my girlfriends hair :) and rods for trim actuators.
For painting I used Aeromaster acrilycs, and the
decals came from Techmod. Weathering is sprayed, and the panel lines were
painted with water paints.
This is my first kit in quarter scale, and I
bulit it after a 9-year break. The kit won second place on a local contest in
the adult OOB category.
The photos were taken with my friend"s
digital camera, (a Fuji 1,3 megapixel resolution machine) I
hope everyone likes the results
