I really like this camouflage scheme. Not the easiest but on the other hand no stencils to apply will save me time 😉 

Comparison Eduard/Quinta Studio. Albeit not really cheap, you get some really beautiful (and complete) stuff from Quinta Studio.
I think the color from Quinta studio is spot on and no speckles like with Eduard. Curios how it processes. 

The details are incredible 

Bit of extra detailing of the back bulkhead. The piece of styreen on the bottom of the ejection seat is for lifting the Quickboost pilot a bit higher. I have the impression he is a bit to small (1:50?) 

Made a oxygen mask with hose for him. The oxygen hose turned out a bit to thick but I will leave it like this. 

Here is the little man.  

The first side console installed. It's really easy to work with that Quinta stuff. I use Microscale Metal Foil Adhesive as a first layer. Once dry it will remains sticky. Placing the Quinta decals with with a bit of water underneath gives me the time to get them at the right spot. 

Left side. Have to install the throttle quadrant yet.  

Hmmm.......I like it. 

I had to lower the piece of styreen to 1mm. The pilot sat a little to high. His face looks eeh.......let's say he's not the prettiest guy around. 

The Brassin exhaust. In retrospect I think the kit part would have been good enough. 

 

Tried to replicate the landing lights with Bare Metal Foil "Chrome". Not a great succes 🙁 

Hollowed out these little air intakes.
