Hi, everybody!  Here’s my latest job.  She’s from Hasegawa and has been my most enjoyable build.  I’ve spent a lot of time scratchbuilding several parts of the kit.  As for aftermarket, only the exhaust nozzles have been used from Aires (lovely).  The kit was painted with Gunze and Tamiya.  For the metalic panels, I used Alclad for my first time.

It’s a lovely kit at this scale – I think the best one, with plenty possibilities.  Just a handicap, if you want open or move the whole control surfaces, you have to work to make it happen.

The cockpit and wheel bays were improved.  The flaps, spoilers, slats, ailerons and “petrol tubes” on upper surface were scratched.

All the rivets – some of these were painted directly – and the panel lines, with paste chalks and oils (I do love this very much).

Well, that’s all.  I hope you like her.

Keep modeling.

Regards from Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
