Loose fit of intakes.

Intakes glued up. Used plastic card to replace stock intake covers, since their angle wasn't quite right. Also trimmed the burner cans down so they fit better.

Traced camo pattern in pencil, then freehand airbrushed. Didn't use pattern in instructions, this was a mix and match of photos. Colors used were Tamiya XF-59 Desert Yellow, XF-71 Cockpit Green, Vallejo 71.022 Camo Green and 70.872 Chocolate Brown.

Thanks guys, appreciate it! No real problems: wing fit is a little poor, missiles and rails are a little underscale, I ended up chopping a little off the exhaust and scratched intake covers so it matched photo reference a little better. The camo pattern in the instructions is incorrect, ended up using photos instead. Still a fun build.
