The model was built using only the box contents, aside from custom interior additions I made.
Most white stickers were too transparent, so I painted the markings myself—layering white, then masking and adding red and black. To correct an inaccurate window on the left side of the aircraft frame, I sanded and repainted it. I had challenges with the fenestron mask but decided my first attempt was sufficient.
Given the sparse cabin, I scratch-built some equipment to avoid a completely empty look, even though the thick windows limit visibility of these details.
