  I built this kit OOB except for the seat, which is from True Details. The kit went together perfectly, with very little extra effort. The only thing I noticed of any concern is what I assume to be the third formation light on the bottom of the fuselage was not molded. I used Model Masters enamel and acrylic paints. The decals are applied with MicroSet and MicroSol, which worked perfectly. I sealed them with Future, applied a light wash of burnt umber and then sprayed a flat coat for the final finish. I used Tamiya weathering compound for the gun and exhaust staining.

  This is my first submission to ARC. I recently restarted in the hobby after being away almost 30 years. I used many tips found right here on this website. Thanks for all the great help!
