Well,
the less said about the kit, the better. Most of the kit "detail" parts were
scratchbuilt, venturi tube, engine, cockpit, windshield, PWU machine guns, fuel
tank, wheel details etc.
Corrugated
aluminum surface was attempted at lower parts of the wings with stretched sprue
and styrene, and the model was riveted all-around. Painting was done with
MM metalizers, sealed with sealer, and then painted with a mix of Tamiya Khaki,
White, and Gunze Sky Type S for the fuselage and upper surfaces. Tamiya
Light Blue with mixed in White, was used for the lower wing and horizontal
stabiliser surfaces. Ailerons were cut and actuators bulit in.

The painting
was done by brush, while Mr. Hobby gloss cote was sprayed over from a
can. Decals were from a different kit, and actually went along quite
well with an abundant use of Microscale decal persuasion solutions, and
of course with a little help from a friend. Chipping was done by
needle tip, and finally with artists pastels with an airbrushed Microscale
flat coat (which didn't have anything to do with me, since I don't use an
airbrush, again a little help from a friend ; ) ).
Here s
hoping you like it, it is very small, and I liked it throughout, building it and
I am liking it even more as it is sitting on my shelf ; ) .
