Cessna A-37A Dragonfly

Album info
This is Hasegawa's venerable A-37 Dragonfly. Comes with parts to do both A and B version, but is somewhat long in the tooth. The outline seems rather good but it really lacks detail.
I gave it a full rescribe since the raised panel lines it came with were all over the place.
Scratched some wheel wells (from the box there is none for the nose landing gear).
I cut open the canopy and scratched a cockpit incl. the ejection seats. Added an Eduard PE sheet, which had the basics for the cockpit (IP and seatbelts) and the very visible FOD guards on the engine air intakes, which are a very noticeable feature of this aircraft.
Bombs came from the spares box, I think from a F-105 from Hasegawa. I refined their shapes and scratched the fuse extenders.
Whip antennae are fishing line cut to lenth.
The model is painted with Humbrol enamels, decals came from the kit.
It has some stubborn dust adhered to it since I completed it ten years ago. Tried to get it off for the photos but didn't quite manage!
Hope you like it, thanks for looking.
