It looks great. What color did you paint? I want to assemble the same in 72 scale

Please note the slats were always extended when grounded since they were gravity loaded thus always extended on the ground but for maintenance. Blue Angels being the execcption, apart for their TA-4 since that was always bolted shut to prevent extending. Looking good apart the slats...

Thanks for the feedback guys.
@Олег - I used Mr Hobby Aqueous H308 for the underside and H307 for most of the upper part. In hindsight, I should have probably gone for a slightly darker colour on the top part as I felt the contrast between the 2 colours is too close, especially after weathering.
@tyu - many thanks for the feedback and pointing out the issue with the slats. To be honest, I became aware of this after i bought the kit and realised that the Hobbyboss kit has the slats moulded in. I could have gone through the surgery of cutting them out and do the necessary amendments but decided against as I wanted this more as a relatively quick build. Anyway that leaves the option open to build the Hasegawa kit one day (which doesn't have the same issue with the slats) 🙂 thanks again for the feedback though 👍
