Colours are a heavy faded Olive Drab with Sandbrown pattern and a Skyblue colour underneath.
To show the famous technique of an engine mounted behind the Cockpit and the heavy 37 mm canon in front, I use the amazing Detailsets from CMK.
Furthermore I wanna scratch built the flaps and open both Cockpit doors.
