This kit was presented to me by very far time, together a MiG.21 (see previous submission); it was a cheap but very complete box from the '90s and is a very beautiful kit, all with engraved panel lines. I carefully completed the interior with a decaled instrument panel, its seat and a spare pilot.

I painted the interiors with Humbrol 120 enamel.  After some research in my stash' documents, I found it would be painted in 30118 and 34079 upper, with pale blue unders, all done with H. 29, 30 and 122/IAF 4.

I selected the Atoll missiles and two launchers at the pods and then, after the gloss paint, I applied the decals included in the box. They are a bit fragile but reacted quite well with the vinyl glue.

A layer of matt cote (Humbrol) sealed the paintwork.  It is a very fun kit to built and I recommended it to anyone should have the chance to find it.

Happy modeling to all ARCair friends!
