Used putty on the nose and leg/engine seams, repainted and the marking either corrected or repainted, panel line drawn with a 0.5 mechanical pencil, bit of weathering.

Repainted the gun a real dark metallic colour, painted the arrow on the head which took some time to get looking good, painted the engine intakes and added a line for the vents, painted the landing gear lights and glued in the landing gear.
