AMT Razor Crest 1/72 "One day build"

[Rex Garrison]

This is my first real build post - haven't been building for a long time, but its a miserable day outside so I thought I'd try to finish a kit today.

Decided on the Razor Crest - got it on clearance at Michael's, so not too worried if I mess up. Started well, no real fit problems.

Finished the hull and engines before lunch - just took them out to prime them.

After lunch - painting and assembling the cockpit!

It is a great kit and out of the box it can easily be a one day build, especially if you use Spaz stik mirror chrome rattle can spray paint

So ... cockpit mostly done - waiting to dry. Painted (sort of - I'm not as dexterous as I used to be ...) and mostly assemled. Not going to see much of it anyways.

Hull painted in gloss aluminum - no pics yet. I may have oversprayed!

Waiting to dry, then some assembly.

Cockpit assembly ready to install.

I'm really gonna have to work on my paint game .... I usually build 1/35, so this is way smaller than my comfort zone. Still - not too bad for my shaky old hands!
