This is the old Italeri model that I had to rescribe all around.

The tail was modified to represent a Brazilian aircraft.

Decals are still incomplete, I still need to chose the aircraft to be represented.

Under surfaces are still too clean....after the decals I will apply a dark wash on that area.

Cockpit details are from the box. I will try to add some extra details using the Eduard PE detail set and home made parts also.

Great job! What do you think of this kit? I mean advantages and disadvantages?

nice paintjob, will this one become deep down and dirty as in the picture?

Thanks my friend (and sorry for the bad pictures.....I will do new ones asap). So about the kit I think the Italeri kit is very good and very well detailed for the scale. Only disadvantage are the panel lines that need to be sanded and engraved all around the model. You can also work a little bit on the wheel wells that are not deep enough concerning the main landing gear only. Cheers.
