Actually my plan was to build this kit straight from the box. But when I saw the cockpit details, it really was empty fort his kind of scale and I decided to use Aires resin cockpit and Eduard's photoetched cockpit instrument panel detail set. Kit had a lots of lack of detail and some mistakes. So FDt was a long process to fix and correct them.  While I built the cockpit, I also decided to open service hatches and I used many scraps of styrene and cable also include Verlinden's resin detail set.

After all these process, I painted the model with Gunze acrylic colors referred by Trumpeter and shaded these colors with dark and light tones to give a depth to the surface. I used oils and pastels for weathering the models.

It took me 1 year to finish this model but I think it was worth this effort and time.  Hope you like it.

Have a good models.
