So this is the kit... It's a 2017 rebox, looking online it seems the Hasegawa moulding seems to go back to 1994, though possibly it predates that as it's quite a sparse kit. It seems the kit fantasy livery is based on a a Japanese Manga called "Area 88", I won't be using those - instead I have some aftermarket Flying Colours decals and will have my first attempt at using a vacuform canopy (shown here next to the supplied canopy). I'll probably go for the dark blue/dark green scheme.

Can't remember where I first saw this c. 1990 commemorative Swedish F10 Wing scheme -- online profile, magazine or Hasegawa kit box art -- but once I saw it, I knew it was the only choice for the old Airfix 1/72 kit lurking in the stash. Decals are home-made except for numbers and roundels from old Flying Colors sheets. Paints are Tamiya acrylic mixes. The red tail color and the 'Ghost' badge are insignia of the wing's No. 1 Squadron.
