It is
basically an out of the box build except for the cockpit which is a resin
item from Pavla. The new
cockpit is a beautiful little gem and drops into place with little
modification required to the kit. The model is
painted in Humbrol enamels and weathered using washes of raw umber and
light post shading with Tamiya Smoke.

The kit falls
together, a realy trouble free assembly. The decals caused a few problems.
They did not want to move once applied, the Suez Stripes did not settle
down very well even with a lot of decal softner and the white parts of the
roundles are translucent. I did not use the finlet decals as they were the
wrong colour.
Apart from
that, a lovely kit.
