[Ian]

Making a little progress on this.

Cockpit interior is now ready to be fit into the body.

I saw this couple of times and each time I had the urge to get it Looking forward to your build

Looking nice Ian. This is a ripper little kit, I built one for the BSC 2013. Just picked up a silver medal for it in the sci fi category at our local modeling show ;D

Word of warning The tiny half crescent decals on the fuselage are a pain in the butt and I would suggest painting the White highlights around the wheel wells rather than using the decals.

 

[Ian]

Thanks! I've actually been following your thread and learning from it.

Masked off the wheel wells last night, and will spray today.

 

[Quaralane]

Looking really nice there

 

[Grendels]

Nice glossy paint job!

 

[Ian]

Agreed, Grendels. Very pleased with how that came out.

A couple more progress shots. Had a little screw up with the wheel hubs, so I sprayed silver and chipped to cover it. Also added the decals.

 

[Quaralane]

Definitely looking good

 

[Biskup]

Sweet

Nice Ian, I like the contrast with the silver hubs, adds a nice bit of contrast. I'd love to build another one of these beat up and battle damaged, such a cool kit.

 

[Ian]

That was my original plan, but then the red came out so pretty looking I couldn't destroy it!

 

[Ian]

Dirtying it up a little.

Man that's beautiful!

 

[Ian]

Thanks Jake!
