Scratch built fuel tank fins, version here was a photo in a book showing this plane without stars and nose stripes at Tyndall 1954

JEFF MYERS
I painted the glare shield, the decal was too fussy. I used red instead of insignia red, I think red matches the photo but is technically wrong. The USAF on the wing was not the decal with silver backing. I painted around a rectangle of bare metal abd used the clear USAF decal.

JEFF MYERS
I had to remove the small air intakes on the back of the fuselage as those were incorrect. Slow to make this kit, lots of fitting and sanding

JEFF MYERS
Metal paint was Tamiya TS-17. Red was Satin red painters touch! Great retail spray paint

JEFF MYERS
TS-7 was used for the trim . looks right, like kinda off white yellow-y
