I will build this kit using all the kit parts. I will try to add detail and see if I can modify the canopy to the open position.
I ordered the paint I was lacking from Micro Mark.
Parts are clean and ready for paint.
It's a small model, so I used a brush to paint the cockpit interior green,followed by future and then a wash of diluted craft jet black.
For the strange blue color, I used craft sterling silver, then a mixture of Tamiya clear blue and just a little clear yellow, followed by future and the same black wash.
I tried to drill out the holes in the pilot seat, but the plastic was so thick, I did not look right. So, I cut out the center of the seat and replaced it with .005 inch styrene sheet.
I have not drilled the holes yet, and started removing the engine from the sprue.
That all for now.
