Actuating rods for the airbrake and retracting ladder were replaced with lengths of chrome plated sewing needles. AIM 9 Sidewinders were scratchbuilt from plastic rod/plasticard and the GBU 12's were scratchbuilt using Mk 82 bombs, plastic rod and sheet and a little wire.

Finished with Humbrol paints with panel lining highlighted with Paynes Grey oil-paint and additional weathering and fading added by airbrushing and some pastel-chalks.
