This kit was built during the period I was not documenting my builds. As such, I don't remember too many details. About the only thing I do remember is that I used Floquil CN Gray for the exterior. In the bottle, it looked like it had a slight greenish tint to it, which I thought was perfect. But when I sprayed it, it looked slightly tannish. Based on what I have read, the tannish tint may be more accurate.

The decals came from the kit. I can tell by looking at the build that I forgot (or didn't know enough) to apply the clear flat coat to the canopy. It definitely looks darker than the rest of the plane.

Build completed September, 2010.
