This is a commission build. The customer supplied the Esci kit and the very nice Leading Edge decals.

Now, the Esci kit is NO Hasegawa. Needed lots more putty and had some issues. Such as incompletely formed wheels. Those were fixed with putty and paint. The ejection seats also had shape issues. But seeing as the canopy is so badly misshapen and THICK the seat issue is not that noticeable.

Enjoy the photos.
