For something that I though would be a quick build didn't exactly turn out that way in the end but I managed to get it done . There are a lot of errors by my hands but I'm please with the results . It was built out of the box and for the natural mental I used Alclad II dur/alum , tamiya flat silver for the wings . And Model master exhaust steel for the exhaust panels . It was a fun build and it is the best 48 scale out on the market , The Airfix and Meng Mustangs are nice kits , built those already but this is far head of them .
