Well, the kit only has one sharkmouth decal but...
Kit decals:
Second one would require custom markings and masks...
If I only had a Cricut... wait, do I?
Well, it is only drilling out things and checking fit (OK, added PE screens too) but it is a start!
Test fitting the main parts, not much to this kit at all!

I was not too fond of my exhaust port drilling as the pipes seemed so thin!
Ordered these SBS exhausts from Amazon for $14USD delivered using rewards:
As has been happening to me lately, I then came across this CMK set for only $6.85USD delivered! Yes, I got it as well as I do have two kits:

Amazing work Saul! Way to go!
Is it an upgrade?
It does look good but I'd stay with your effort.
I still have the CMK set on the way...
I forgot to upload my startup photo, it was still on the digital camera!
Got the second exhaust set in...
One exhaust side was broken loose but serviceable.

Next step is adding a little detail to the cockpit. I have this references which was to use on my Accurate Miniatures (now Academy) Yak-1b kit with a rare resin correction set for the upper fuselage. However, the artwork will do for this kit too!

Reminder Saúl, this is a quick build, not a deep details dive (like I usually do) So get out the glue, paint and basics and sniff some.
Build, build, build....
This week is VERY busy at the hospital. As I wrote, the 'deep dive' is because I have two kits in 72nd and another in 48th.
