This kit was gifted by my dear friend Vinayak, and built as a group build.  For a rather inexpensive kit, the details are good and quality top notch. I built it OOB just the decals were replaced for a IAF scheme and Brightspark roundel and fin flash were used. 

I hope you liked it.

Wishing all fellow Indians a Happy Republic Day, Jai Hind !!
