Album info Out of the box easy retro-project. I've been not so extreme on this retro-project ,,, Acrylics instead of enamels ,,,, but : no detailing , no correcting , no putty , and no airbrush. The kit has no cockpit and no wheel wells .... so it should be a fast project. Paints used : Gunze , Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics.
