In the early 70´s
the Japanese company Otaki made this excellent kit with perfect engraving and
fitting. Revell and Testor´s later reboxed the same kit. Mine was made in 1973
and I found it on Ebay.

I almost built it straight from the box, but I decided
to replace the cockpit windows as the original pieces didn't fit well. The
decals of the kit had yellowed and depicted the early white and grey scheme but
I chose to model the lizard scheme. To do this I used Model Master enamels and
my own made decals. For weathering I used a pencil and some pastels.
