Album info

This revell kit is not very accurate representation of actual aircraft and some things are missing (kockpit, engines are seethrough) so i decided for some modifications.
As cockpit I used retrowing set for trumpeter
Engines I have scratch built intake fans and flameholders for afterburners in back from styren sheet.
Also I have added details from shelf oddity set.
