These are great little kits.
Quick to build and paint.
This would have been a one evening project, but I had to let the Testors Model Master Intermediate blue enamel base coat sit for close to a week before it no longer felt "sticky"
Overall though, probably no more than 4 hours start to finish
Prime black, base coat Intermediate Blue, add some stipled white and black oils to get the subtle "mottling" effect and add some black oil washes and some Tamiya silver weathering powders and black pastels around the panel edges
Seeing these pictures now though, I think I have to integrate the decals a little more into the weathering instead of looking like they were thrown on as an after thought. I put them on after weathering when I really should have put them on before. I was just afraid of the turpenoid oil washes screwing them up
And to get a sense of how it stacks up to other sci-fi sujects in 1/72 scale....
Seems a bit small comparatively. If it is truly 1/72 then they are pretty small fighters compared to the others (again assuming 100% accurate scale)
