well done! That camo looks amazing! Did you use the provided cannon or is it aftermarket?

no, the kit is out of the box but i did have to drill out the gun barrels
i also made the seat belts out of green stuff rolled really thin, this is now my method for belts as you have more control of the position than with tape.
i picked this camo because the grey camo is very popular and there was only ever 2 planes in this scheme, it has the wrong decals but it is very eye catching, it does blend in very well with anything wood when it's on the shelf. my new tactic for the wife if she cant see it then i hav'nt got it lol.

Great idea! I've got some decorating to do, where can I buy emulsion in RLM colours?

Beautiful model. Love the snake head.
Is the base printed or else?

The italeri kit is ok with great detail but has issues with the intakes on the engines the fans are rubbish and are too thick.
The base is 240 sandpaper and sprayed and weatherd then stained using inks and enamels.
Thanks for the comments.
