Complemented by some useful PE frets. Only the decals could not live up to this standard. They have been printed not 100% aligned and did not show crisp details. Archer Fine Transfers offer just that. So in they went.

The figures are a nice offering too with convincing poses. Only the heads will be replaced by Hornets heads.

I did not like the oil tub so I replaced it with one made from a thin copper sheet.

Wear and weathering was kept subtle as I imagine that MP stuff was not worn down that much.

I think I did a mistake and the glass of the headlight should have been turned by 90 °.

The only mistake in the kit I recognized are the taillights. Those two are identical at the kit but not at the real stuff. I modified it accordingly
