Lawzer Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) So after a REALLY quick build for me she's finished (well very nearly). As @BIG X said this is an evil looking beast. And thanks to all (especially @Troy Smith ) who aided me in the build (short) WIP here: LOVED this kit - so much so I'm on the look out for another. Only real problem I had (still have) is the gap between the cannon bay doors and front bulkhead. Might very well be my on doing as I put a lot of putty up front which may have distorted things a bit so for the time being only tacked on till I decide what to do. Landing gear actuators a bit fiddly (broke one? yes I did) and decal placements "vague" to say the least. Painted with vallejo air (bottom and main upper colour) and tamiya acrylic for most of the squiggle cammo (also used water colour pencil). Usually I brush on tamiya flat clear but this time used a rattle can of the same and the difference is huge (MUCH better). For a kit this age the decals were superb. Anyway, enough bleather Edited February 5, 2018 by Lawzer 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG X Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 You really should add a link to the WIP in your top post - I'm sure folk would want to take a look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
