Kit complete.

The resin engines had horrible fit and required hours of sanding to get a decent shape.

Added a resin pilot head.

Some wash and color added to the engine.

Black wash applied first.

Adding a bit of wear to the anti-glare panel.

Decals done...

Smer kit out of the box.

A Hasegawa AN/AAQ-13 since this kit didn’t have one.

Nice patch for Janet Airlines.

More detail shots on the real M923.

Showing the addition of these 2 thingies (a technical term). I chose to depict them as a blade antenna and a red strobe....

The drop tanks are finished and ready to install.

The real aircraft I’m trying to depict. Combining the kit decals with 2 Caracal sets should get the desired markings.

Kit wheel wells aren't too bad.
