This is my latest
model built without any aftermarket products, the only modification was
rescribing a few panel lines that were not correct. However, this Italeri kit is
not something I would recommend to anybody because it needs a lot of work to
undo all of the manufacturers flaws. The details in the cockpit are minimal, as
well as the jet intakes and exhaust. The kit fits nicely except for the canopy
which needs a little more putty.

I used MM acrylics
for the first time on this kit and they are just great, perfect for the enamel
wash. This kit was also my first preshading project. I couldn't find any
references about the Japanese version except this one photo which was very
helpful since the Italeri paint scheme isn't entirely correct. After the matt
cote I sprayed a highly diluted grey color to eliminate the very bright colour
of the decals.
Hope you like it...
