Well I would have picked a Tamiya for your first armor kit but great subject. Don’t know what you normally build but if you like weathering then you should love armor! Good luck and keep us posted!
Built out if the box with Tamiya acrylics over Tamiya primer. Pre shaded the panel lines then lightened base coat to fade some individual panels. Used oil paints to fade the decals some. Forgot to add weight so it sat on its tail.. decided to make carrier landing vignette. Deck #’s are way out...
