The model is the new Airfix kit that has been enhanced with a Eduard cockpit and decals from Starfighter Decals. Sovereign Hobby Colourcoats were used for the non-specular blue-gray top color and non-specular light gray bottom. Enjoy

Nice job Chuck. I like that the canopy can be posed open.

That has turned out very nicely indeed Chuck. I have one of these kits in my "pending" pile to be built this year and I'll be well chuffed if it turns out looking something like yours!
