The ejection seat of the kit΄s cockpit is replaced with ones from Aires detail set Mk7 GQ for F-104 and converted in type Mk7 HRQ. The photo-bay includes four cameras KS-92A, hydraulic-bay, two engines J.85.GE.13 and the buck removal part of the engine΄s spindle with the bedstead, were scratch-build.

The model is painted in “SEA” camo, using colors provided by the Model Master range: medium green, dark green, dark tan and light grey and it finished with extensive weathering. The model represents a Northrop RF-5A (349 squadron) in Hellenic Air Force duty.

Happy modelling!
