I bought this kit and found the "in the box" quality to be good....with good detailing and well laid out kit design.  The assembly was as I expected from first impressions of this kit in the box....fast and simple.

As the kit is good, it deserved some special attention, I made details for the cockpit.

As I have a physical problem, that makes my hands to tremble quite a bit, I lost the decal that was to cover the yellow area of the nose of the kit.  I tried to make the black line with a number 000 brush, but it did not turn out very well.

After painting, I applied a layer with gloss clear coat and later I applied the decals. The nose art is good and improves the appeal of the finished model.
