Turning Japanese - 1/48 Hasegawa F-2A in the Cabinet

Well, it's as done as its going to be. As usual I'm not entirely happy with the result but it looks good in the cabinet so it'll have to do.

Typically just before I typed this I found a web site, linked from the IPMS USA site of all places,  with quite a few shots of this actual jet, and it was quite a bit more weathered than I'd thought. For those building any of these jets have a look here
