The converted Revell kit [ referred to as no. 3 ]  was finished with decal ling and final cockpit detailing. Cockpit instruments (assumed to be quite similar to the soviet planes) came from a combination of decals and add on bits and pieces from card and rod. 

The single cockpit canopy was also detailed with de-misting tubing, the various locks and the windscreen gun aiming screen and some instruments with dials were added.

The decals came from various decals from the "reserve" box. The Indian Air Force roundels were based on Italian roundels with the yellow edges cut off. (the decals were from a 1/48 Revell/Italeri Tornado kit). 

The smaller (assumed to be "indian english" ) stenciling markings came from other decals. The plane is fitted with a training Atoll like missile on the left pylon.


The model got the same treatment regarding the mat finish as the DDR model [2] (on page 8...). 


 note detailing gear and deepened main u.c. bays 

The final result is very pleasing of the special "yellow" IAF plane.
