Kit
The kit is produced by Frems 1/48 MB-339 PAN version.
Construction
As usual the construction started with the cockpit area. Since the kit is in Italian’s aerobatic version, there’s no wing tip fuel tanks supplied with the kit.
I have to source around for the wing tip tanks, the closest shape and size was the F-86 Sabre’s fuel tank! I had to modify slightly the tanks to suit which I took it from Academy’s 1/48 F-86 Sabre external fuel tanks. The rest of the
construction was merely straight out of box.

Painting and Decals
The applied colors for the camouflage were Gunze’s lacquer paint. Decals are custom made for the square insignia of RMAF with an internal star consisting of thirteen numbers of pointed, letterings were dry transfer and the squadron’s logo at tail was hand painted.
