A very accurate kit, molded in pretty much the correct colours out of the box. Also includes a flight stand base so that the model can be posed in an alternate flying position.

Paints Used
| Section | Recommended Colour | Selected Colour | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main body light grey | Gray C3111 | Vallejo Model Air Insignia White (71.279) or Vallejo Model Air White-Grey (71.119) | The colour chart reccomends Vallejo Model Air USAF Light Grey, but this seems more towards the cream end of white, rather than the grey. These alternatives appear better, at least to my eye. |
| Main body dark grey | Neutral Gray C13 + Purple C72 (80:20) | Vallejo Model Air Neutral Grey (71.051) | |
| Central cockpit light blue | Light Blue C323 + Medium Blue C72 (95:5) | Vallejo Model Air AII SV. Gol Light Blue (71.317) |
