Decals are LF Models, unfortunately printed on single carrier film, so you have to cut close to decal edges, and they were difficult to work with.

Still don't know if  I like this or not, mixed feelings on it, but something different. Painted with Gunze, Tamiya, Vallejo and Vallejo Metal Colour, Gunze Super Clear III, asome Flory dark dirt wash in panel lines, I kept this clean as it was probably more so clean being transport.

I like it because it's different. I think you made the right decision.

Hi, Grant - Great job on an unusual subject, excellent finish and details, thanks for the post and photos.

What is the streamlined dome on the top of the forward fuselage? Never saw that before. Curious object.

Thanks guys, kit is early Trumpeter  I think, pretty basic detail wise, a few issues, but I did modify it, it is a military version, so the hunchback on top normally has guns, and under the belly would be a gondola with guns
