India Independence Day

 

      

Posting this build on the occasion of India's Independence day. Build is mostly OOB except for few modifications such as VHF antennae near the nose. Since the Indian Air Force opted for low visibility grey camo for all of their aircraft which is quite boring for me as a modeler, I decided to opt for high visibility camo used for Air to Air training. This aircraft belongs to Hawks squadron of the Indian Air Force.

Fit of the kit is good. Did not trouble me much and it required minimum sanding. I used locally available acrylic paints and for decals I have Bright Spark decals for Roundels and fin flash and locally printed decals for serial numbers and squadron logo from fellow ISM (Indian Scale Modelers) member Murli Rajan. 

Hope you all like the build. Wishing all Indian Independence Day. Jai Hind.
