Built almost
straight from the box except for some masking tape for seat belts and the
cockpit detail added from wire, plastic rod and stretched sprue. Undercarriage

Actuating rods for
the airbrake and retracting ladder were replaced with lengths of chrome plated
sewing needles. AIM 9 Sidewinders were scratchbuilt from plastic rod/plasticard
and the GBU 12's were scratchbuilt using Mk 82 bombs, plastic rod and sheet and
a little wire.
Finished with Humbrol paints with
panel lining highlighted with Paynes Grey oil-paint and additional weathering
and fading added by airbrushing and some pastel-chalks.
