I used Hasegawa kit, built mostly OOB, except for some photoetch items from Airwaves to detail the inside of the canopy and some PE seat belts from Eduard.  I also used some copper wire to detail the area between the rear seat and the pilot's seat.

The model was painted with Testors enamel and clear coated with Tamiya acrylic clear gloss (for decal and final coat).  Decals from CAM and stencils from Aeromaster Decals.

The weathering was made with overspray along the panel lines as well as a wash with thinned oil colour after decaling.
