My first try with a airbrush. I used tamiya paints. I made a big mistake with my flat coat in the end so i had to weather the aircraft more then i would have liked. But i managed in the end. Still not perfect But that is what you get when you try the airbrush for the first time. This kit on the other hand is also not perfect. Had some porblems in multiple stages during the build but i still like the end result for such a old kit.

Modification:
- Added seatbelts
- Details in the cockpit.
- Scratch build hud detail.
- Scratch build detail behind the seat.

Mistakes:
- used the wrong flat coat so i had to make the palne very weathered.
- Sanded to much of the rear wheels away so it sits to low on the back.
- I mounted the centre pylon the wrong way around so i can't fit the ecm pod in the end because it blocks the front landing gear.
