And more shots of the model all finished up.

I'll post some better still shots after I finish up the display stand its getting mounted on.

I had a lot of fun on this build and was very pleased with the way scraping off the paint on the window ports worked.

The decal set included with the model kit is outstanding quality. Not one decal ripped out of a few hundred of them.

They also laid down on the model's surface extremely well. Couldn't ask for much more out of a decal.

The biggest tip I can pass along is make sure your light blocking coat is a good one. Being molded in clear, light will get through if you don't cover it thoroughly.  But, do not spray your primer or paint too thick as you will begin to have a hard time seeing the small windows that need to be scraped off.

I think this is going to be a very popular kit especially if you want to build it with lighting.

It's tedious scraping all those windows but still way easier and faster than drilling them all out.
