Marvellous Marauder! Excellent NMF and I like the wear on the painted areas!

I assume that the model isn't orangey pink in real life ;-) but that it's an effect of the automatic white balance in the camera. You can get true-to-life colours by using the manual white balance option on the camera, setting it against a white paper, storing the setting and then snapping away. Automatic white balance almost always struggles with indoor lighting. Also, it's a good idea to use the same kind of lights and not mixing, for instance, daylight with incandescant with fluorescent.

Great modelling!

Kind regards,

Joachim

Very nice indeed,.....this is the first time I`ve seen a Hasegawa Marauder built up and it looks great! I have a few of these to build myself and you`ve whetted my appetite to get on with them,

Cheers

Beautiful NMF. you don't notice the panel shading, but it is there, just like the real a/c. How on earth did you manage to attach the gun-sight on the nose so clean? no orangery pink on my monitor by the way.
