I added Eduard PE for the cockpit and Eduard mask set, cannon barrel made with hypodermic needle, various antenna, static discharger and the bolts for attaching the weapons made with 0,3 mm brass.

Decals came from Eagle Strike #48150 and was painted with Gunze Hobby Color range, Future for glossing, various shades of oils and a final coat of flat Vallejo Model Air.

My best from Italy.
