Looks great.

Are Vallejo metal colors acrylic? Whatever they are I like how you made several panels different shades of "metal".

Yes Mike, they are acrylic they come in 32ml bottles, paint is easy to use, dries quick and tough as nails

Another fun easy build from Trumpeter. Only problem I found was the "keyed" landing gear positions would have made wheels on the wrong angle, so I modified gear to straighten it up. I also added extra riveting on the nose area.

Painted with Vallejo Metal Colors, Tamiya, Vallejo and Gunze acrylics. AK Gauzy, oil paint to wash small panels, Flory dark dirt wash to get in to panel lines and rivets. Pitots are Model Master.
