This kit was built OOB except for
some added details in the cockpit. Straps
and harnesses were added to the seats using masking tape. Wiring for the back of
the rear instrument panel was added using small wires from the inside of a fax
machine.

As usual, I stumbled across
excellent reference photos of the cockpit and seats after it was
too late to correct my errors. Model
Masters enamels were used for all painting except the CRT screens in the
cockpit. The entire model was
sprayed with Testors Glosscoat prior to placement of the decals.
After decals, I sprayed the
entire model with Testors
Dullcoat. Weathering
was done with pastel chalks, then the model was sprayed with the final dullcoat.
The display base is a typical
11"x14" picture frame with molding plaster used as the tarmac.
