Flying Tigers - AFV Club 1:144

There's no cockpit in the kit, so a little scratch building goes a long way.. 

 

Drilling out the exhaust pipes with a PCB drill bit 

With seatbelts and a quick paintjob and wash 

 

 

Time for masking and painting 

 

 

 

 

With the main paintjob complete and decals added 

 

 

 

 

The cockpit detail is reasonably well visible through the canopy, but so small it is a challenge to photograph with my old phone camera. 

 

 

With an antenna aerial rigged and some OPR
