Options and supplied materials

• Alternative drop tanks and centerline rack. Paints: H417. Not selected for the guide’s initial scheme or configuration. Instruction page(s): 6; 10; 15.
• Instrument face decals versus GX05 paint. Paints: GX05. Not selected for the guide’s initial scheme or configuration. Instruction page(s): 4.
• Open/closed canopy and antenna choices. Paints: H416. No extra paint colors; aerial wire un-coded. Instruction page(s): 7; 9.
• Advertised aftermarket resin, PE and masks. Not selected for the guide’s initial scheme or configuration. Advertisement only; no extra requirements imported. Instruction page(s): 16.

Source limitations and material guidance

• SM201 is labeled SUPER CHROME on page 8, FINE SILVER on page 4 and SUPER FINE SILVER in the main legend. These labels refer to the same printed code.
• H319/C319 is LIGHT GREEN in the main legend and RLM25 in scheme B. H324/C324 is LIGHT GRAY in the main legend and GRIGIO AZURRO CHIARO 1 in scheme D. Scheme B labels H69/C37 RLM74 although the main legend calls it RLM75. The printed codes are retained.
• Black H2/C2 and Flat Black H12/C33 are separate source rows even though both list Mission Models MMP-047. That shared cross-reference does not establish the same finish for both roles. GX05 has no printed Mission Models alternative.
• No paint mixtures are specified. Uncoded wire, clear glazing and supplied decal colors do not add paint requirements. Accessory advertisements are optional purchases, outside the included kit palette.
