Tamiya s new  jug is perfect..Especially the cockpit detail level is quite impressive.. 

I built it OOB except for the Eduard seat belts  and the decals. I've used a mix of  Aeromaster (48538) and Superscale (480879) decal sheets.

Painting was done with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics..I used Gunze guh302 ( fs 34092 ) as Dark dull green in the cockpit,and on the fuselage  Gunze Raf dark green (guh330) over  Tamiya sky duck egg ..
