Hello,
I have been a fan of this aircraft always .I found this kit from my friend Bob Hanes. Decided to build it in Frech Naval camo scheme. I wanted to place a pilot in the cockpit. Used the trumpeter pilot from F-16 kit. Had to cut the legs and arms to make him fit in the cockpit. Fit was not that great. There was a gap on both sides of the wing fuselage interface. Putty was used to fill the gap. I used Medium grey and dark grey acrylic paints for the camo.Used to bluetac for masking. Used the decals provided and weathered with oil and sealed with future.I am pleased with the effect . Please let me know ,how you guys like it.









Thanks

Vivek, Another sold OOB build. Well done. Your paint camo scheme, and decaling are nearly perfect.
