This is the old Hasegawa Thunderbolt  in 1/72 scale that I built basically OOB.....very enjoyable to build.

The model is partially rescribed because the kit panel lines are raised.
 
 
The paints used were from Humbrol (32. 149. 117).

I added seat belts in cockpit.  I weathered the model with oils and pastels. The strips and sensor on the Mavericks are painted with airbrush.
 
Happy Modelling
