Constructed out of box with no after market parts. Decals as provided and Vallejo paints exclusively used throughout. Panel lines were accentuated by a blend of grey oil paints straight from tube without dilution of mineral spirits, and then wiped away using facial tissue or cotton bud. No problems

Kit assembled without any problems. Pleasantly surprised that no filler or putty was needed. For a 1/72 scale kit, the cockpit was nicely given more than the regular detail.

Cockpit was hand painted and followed a reliable walkaround photo shoot. Seat belts were of standard masking tape that gave a canvas appearance replicating creases normally found.

A better shot of the seat and straps. Vallejo khaki and chrome/bronze were used to simulate buckles.

Closeup of the prop hub and anterior engine enclosure. I must say, Academy really excelled with this kit. One of my favourites!
