I preferred to build the Norwegian jet which attended the TIGER MEET 2010. The basic kit is the KINETIC, a good kit, but that calls for some work of adaptation you all the components, and was added to the pilot seat in resin, photo etch, wheels in resin, templates for transparencies, and a beautiful decal sheet, made from Cartograf !!!!

I wanted to add the interior resin AIRES, and the continued construction of the kit very well, just a little bit of difficulty at the junction of the front but otherwise nothing serious. Having filled and sanded the various parties, I applied the color FS36270, while the radome color FS36320. After drying I applied a wash of blue-black MIG, good product and easy to use, but the results excellent. After a coat of clear gloss I applied the decals, fairly easy to apply in the queue, thanks to the strength of the decal itself, and with the help softener!!! Otherwise the result was satisfactory, and I will buy another box EDUARD!!!!
