This is the result
of a refurbishment of this model that was originally built out of the box as an
Exocet carrier.

For the refurb I used the Eduard photo-etched detail set,
a spare ejection seat and Carpena decals for an aircraft based at Dhahran in
Saudi Arabia in 1991. I re-worked the Exocets to look like the Matra
missiles in the photos in the Aerospace Publications book "Gulf Air War
Debrief".
I faired in the
cockpit forward glazing and the wings with filler - the original joints being
awfully visible!
