Looks great Jessie!! It really came out well, and I'm sure it will really add some color to your collection. Did you use the kit decals for the wing stars?

Jessie,
Very nice finish; you really made something of a very basic kit. Can't imagine what some of the better companys could do with subjects like this and today's features and quality.
Rigging looks like "mono", what did you use to colour it?
Cheers,
Lance

Hi Doug, yes those are the kit stars. They wrinkled rather badly when I put the Solvaset on. In retrospect I should probably have used Micro Sol instead.
Lance, I just ran the filament over the tip of a silver paint pen.

Hello Jessie:
It really turned out nice. Plain scheme as you wanted, but still a striking aircraft. I always wanted to do one of these in the Blue Scheme.

If you happen to have the kit, you're in luck. I was very tempted to get this decal, but in the end I decided to do what Hasegawa gave me.

Wow. Looks like you are doing the same unit as I am. Detail on that kit is supurb for an old kit!
Nice touch on the navigation lights. Have to try that!
