I did some scratchbuilding in the cockpit-it was kind of bare. The seat belts are foil and it has True Details resin tires. I used PollyScale paints and the kit stickers (thick), except on the rudder-that's paint. A burnt umber wash and pastels were used for that dirty look. 

No major problems-fun build. This was part of my IPMS chapter's all Israeli collection for the 2002 IPMS National Convention. We were 3rd place.
