Cockpit modified by using Eduard instrument panel and CMK resin seats.  The model is painted with Alclad Aluminium except for the wings. I used different tones of Alclad lacquers for the different panels. The wings are painted with Gunze Sangyo acrylics.

National insignias and flags are from “Turquoise Decal” set.  Code numbers from my spare box. Finally pitot tube is replaced by “Fine Molds AC-51 F-104 ”

Happy modelling
