  I built this kit out of the box. I used a Testors military colors paint set, and painted the whole thing with a brush, and a toothpick for details. I used the stock decals, and no photoetch or resin. I'm on a pretty tight budget, everything I used was economy based. I added some weathering with chalk pastels, and outlined the rudder, ailerons, etc. with a toothpick.

  I wasn't too happy with the kit. A lot of the pieces didn't fit together well, especially the fuselage forward of the cockpit. The instructions for the decals were sub-par, and I had to omit some decals because I just couldn't figure out where they were supposed to go. Overall I did have fun building the kit, and I'm happy with the results considering my resources.
