The construction started with the cockpit as usual.  The cockpit components are painted in RLM66 by using Tamiya acrylics.  Though the details of the cockpit are well enough, I decided to modify some areas.  Photo Etch instrument panel and the seat belts are from an Eduard set. 

Painting was done with Gunze Sangyo and Tamiya acrylics.  Firstly I painted the lower surfaces black.  Second step is painting upper surfaces to RLM 76.  And finally RLM 75 mottles are applied by free hand airbrushing.

The decals are from the box.

After some weathering it s finished by applying a matt coat from Gunze Sangyo. 

Happy Modelling
