This is the 1/48 Skyrocket from Minicraft. I don't think this plane is as popular as Spitfires or mustangs...etc. It was a big surprise when Minicraft announced this plane a few years ago and I bought it right away a little after its release.

It's a nice kit with engraved details and most of the options are included in the kit so that you can make almost all modifications done through its life time. I have the long-nosed version too waiting to be assembled but I think that will be another story.

The cockpit is sparse in details, but I had difficulties getting some photos of this area. In this stage I decided this would be an OTB project and decided to do with the cockpit anyway. There are some difficulties in assembly. The landing gear was a little bit difficult to assemble and the canopy didn't fit good on the fuselage, so I had to press it a little bit hard and let the glue dry. I used various enamel paints to paint the fuselage and after that a coat of Gunze Super Clear Semi-Gloss was sprayed on.
