Description: This kit was a challenge to build! Many engineering flaws, and lots of filling and sanding of mating surfaces. Out of the box other than the static dischargers on the wings and ruddervators and the position lights. The static dischargers were created with thin evergreen rod. Wingtip position lights are clear rod sanded/shaped to fit and painted clear green/red. Painting was done with an airbrush (black primer, then masked for each color). The decals are kit decals (chosen to add a little color to an otherwise boring paint scheme). Panel lines were accentuated with Tamiya panel liner of various shades depending on the paint color.
