    getting closer to the finish line

    the kit seat was slightly too tall and with all the PE belts it wouldn´t fit without some sanding and cutting plastic away

    Kinetic kit is coming along well. I built one in 1/72 years back..

    The Italeri markings look to be a bit spurious too. The problem is the Indo-Pakistani Air wars are known for misrepresentation of info from both side. I have two [English language]sources which you can glea some truth from combining :

    The India- Pakistan Air War Of 1965 Hardcover – January 1, 2005
    by P V S Jagan Mohan (Author), Samir Chopra

    History of the Pakistan Air Force 1947-1982, Syed Shabbir Hussain
