This is my 1/72 Rareplane vacform OOP kit of the Gates Learjet C-21A

The model is painted using Tamiya gloss white, black and silver and finished with Johnsons Klear.

Although these aircraft were maintained to a high standard and very clean I used some artistic license and added minimal panel wash to the top and bottom surface of the wings and on the engine just to break up the white of the aircraft.

Draw decals were used, although I found these were too big such as the stars and bars and the USAF insignia so instead raided my spares and found something of suitable size.

All of the interior is scratch built including the undercarriage and entrance steps.

Crystal clear was used for the windows and navigation lights.

This particular aircraft is based at Scott Air Force Base USA.

Anyway I hope you like it.
