The kit is from Fujimi, and this was one of my earlier efforts at actually correcting a kit. The seat was pretty horrid, so I replaced it with a resin one. There were no gear wells to speak of, so I boxed them in with sheet styrene (no detailing this time around). Weathering was done with a mixture of gray acrylic paint, water, and a drop or two of dish soap, applied over a gloss coat and allowed to dry before wiping off the excess with a damp cotton swab.
I'm not entirely sure the Fujimi kit is scaled to 1/48, even though that's what it said on the box. Given the way the aftermarket seat fit in, I suspect it might actually be 1/50.
