This is looking good, Bob @v1pro

I can finally call this build as done! Adding some shots of the model when I was painting it. For this build I decided to hand brush it, first by applying a couple of thin down coats of Tamiya Flat Aluminum. Then I brushed on probably 6 coats of Tamiya flat red that was thinned down a lot. After brushing on a coat of Future, decals were applied from the kit. They were a bit brittle and cracked on me on 3 out of the first 10 decals applied to it. I had to use Micro Scale Decal Maker to minimize further breaking/cracking of the decals.

At the end, a flat coat was applied, the canopy glued into place, cannon barrels, antenna mast, EZ Line for the aerial and painted the navigation lights.

Fantastic result, especially considering how basic this kit is, my friend @v1pro!
Love that you hand painted it!
Congratulations!

Excellent result on both, Bob @v1pro
Your skills on hand brush are superb, it looks really good.
