Didn't do too much more, beyond the decals...which are mediocre. Most of the smaller markings, that should be grey, are metalic...with a blue tint to them. Just a quick brushing with some pastel chalk to "pop" the inconsistent panel lines.
Overall. I'd be happy to not see this kit come across my bench ever again. Minor accuracy issues, fit issues, missing details, etc. With a lot of extra work, you could make a nice F-18 out of it...but straight OOB AND with the MSRP...not for me!
Looks ok on the shelf...from across the room.
Glad that's done!
