Very eye catching, congratulations for the beautiful model! A perfect example that no crazy weathering or complex shading techniques are necessary to achieve a great model!
I like that satin finish, it's perfect! What products did you use?
The photography is also very good!

Thanks to you both, appreciated 🙂
@marius I used MRP-126. It stinks like hell but sprays beautifully right out the bottle after a thorough shaking. Make sure to wear a mask and ventilate the room, this one is really nasty.

What a beautiful build and livery 👍 Pity the Platz kits are so hard to get

Thank you guys!
Łukasz, I actually got some of mine from Amazon Japan. If you get a few kits in order to offset the transport cost, you can really get a great deal. Platz kits have decals made by cartograph so you get some really fantastic sheets, the stencils are so much better than on the Italeri sheet for example.

Very stylish livery for this gorgeous kit! Love the subtle weathering for a well maintained machine. Congrats!
Album info
Hello,
In general, it's definitely not a bad kit but it can fight you from time to time.
The cockpit is rather sparse, adding a PE set is a must, I wish I also replaced the seat with resin ones.
To be fair, I thought keeping the canopy closed would make the project easier but I now regret doing so. The open canopy would have added some life to the model. I should also have dropped the flaps. Oh well...
A quick inventory of the project
