Here goes my first ARC Air submission. I had a blast with this kit, built straight out of the box, excellent detail and fit.

I used Xtracolor enamels, to include panel fading with lightened shades of the original colors. Next I weathered with Tamiya smoke and a heavliy dilluted mixture of black and red brown mainly around the engine as well as the undersides. 

I used an acrylic wash to accentuate panel lines and a flat coat to seal it all up, then I airbrushed gun smoke stains with flat black.
