Joe's and Bert's efforts with this kit are hard acts to follow but here goes:

I used the old Eduard PE set for the seat, wheel wells, and cowl flaps; the latter needed to be modified to fit the Packard-engined F version. The resin bits are from the ancient TrueDetails set, the exhausts and gun barrels are from Quickboost. I used the included nickel PE for the instrument panel, sway braces, etc.

Paints are Gunze and Mr.Color, The canopy sliding portion is from Falcon. I used the Propeller from the Academy kit and painted the back of it silver with a light dusting of Tamiya black to make it appear sandblasted from desert use. Apologies for the pic quality; I'm still using a plain old point-and-shoot.
