This is the T-4, the
first all Japanese trainer/jet. I bought it at this years Flanders event in
Belgium. My fellow friends bought this kit for 10 euros and after a brief look I
decided to buy one too. Especially for the decalsheet.

I
scratchbuilt most parts of the
cockpit because the sidewalls had no detail. It took me about 6 weeks to finish
the project. That's on and off building with an average of 1 hour a day in
building.
The only aftermarket game in town
is the Eduard Zoom set and the Masking set. That's all. Both were used. I used
tamiya paint with my own mix, including preshading. Kit decals were used, a few
reference pictures on the net and some guess work with the cockpit.
A mirror was used for the display. Using some revell frisk film and a blowup of
the Cobraheads (thanks to some ARC and HS regulars) for the display and a nice
project is the result.
Thanks to Jeroen for his help.
