This kit is modelled as an S2B of 12 Sqn RAF Honington in 1970. The aircraft was built virtually out of the box with a few added details. It is tough to arrive this far as the she fights you all the way. The kit is sprayed in RAF 3 tone camouflage with gunze acrylics and decals are a mix of Airfix and Aeromaster.
