--------------------

 

I re-realise frames of the cockpit walls and scratch cylinders, levers, seats, instruments, machine-gun support, etc.

I detailed the engine, and scratch actuators, exhaust flaps and cooling.

Bomb support under fuselage, arresting hook and flap actuators on the wings are scratchbuilt.

 

 

I painted Hinomaru  and strips, only numbers and letters are decals.

I used Tamiya Japanese metalic blue for interior mixed with light grey, Gunze Sangyo Japanese gray for external aircraft and Humbrol semi gloss black (#85).
