Lockheed Sea Shadow stealth ship

Here we have Revell's 1/144 Lockheed Sea Shadow, dating from 1996.

A bit of an unusual build, due to its shape, with a little care the kit goes together well, with a nicely detailed interior which can be glimpsed through the glazing and the open doors.

The only problem with the assembly is you are left with two gaps between the underside and the outriggers on the inside, so a lot of filler is required.

Hairystick painted in humbrol enamels, with a final satin cote.

The decals were a problem, the set with the model were not in the best of condition, luckily i thought i found a spare set on evilbay.

Being aware of ghosting especially on black i soaked the first in decal fix, the water;line decals broke and had to be put on in bits, fortunately i tried the inside of the out riggers first, when dry massive ghosting.

Checking my research pics the waterline markings were removed later in the project, so i decided to go with the minimal decals i could, not to draw attention to the ghosting.

So here she is for your perusal.
