  India Navy Day 

 

      

A rather quick out-of-the-box build that served well for my first NMF application. The kit is fabulous with fine panel lines and was easy to assemble. The cockpit details were sparse but the canopy hides it well. The a/c modelled was part of the dozen or so jets that were assigned to the Indian Navy for jet training.

Tried to experiment with different shades of Alclad and was satisfied with the results. The decals were homemade and the serial numbers were dry erased onto the slender tail booms.

Was a fun build over-all and good practice for tackling larger NMF projects. 

Happy Navy Day!
