Hi everybody, this is my second submission to ARC.

I used the 1/48 kit from Trumpeter, Eduard's P/E detail set (cockpit and external details), and some Quickboost airscoops. Eduard provides the right sized airbrakes for this model since the ones provided by Trumpeter are by far too small. It's a tedious job to get these airbrakes fit on the kit, but the end result is rewarding. The kit itself has many fit issues which are time-consuming to resolve, while the engraved detail is fairly accurate.  

I painted the model using alclad paints and post-shading made by using smoke, airbrushed on panel lines, wash and some paint chipping.
