viperchief Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Although this kit dates back to 1987 (according to Scalemates.com), I was really impressed with the level of detail and fit of this kit. I added a seat from Truedetails, Mk 82 Snakeye bombs from a Hasegawa weapons set, and Furball decals. I also made some intake plugs from sheet styrene covered in masking tape. Painted with MRP paint, I tried my hand at doing some weathering with oils and powders to make it look like a grubby "Scooter". I'd love to know what you all think! Thanks for looking!

kapam Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 What do I think? "Superb" about describes it. The weathering gives it the ultra-real look that most of us crave. Well done! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 It'd be easy to say it just another boring gray scheme but with the work you've put into it, its nothing like boring. Your weathering & detail work has really brought it to life. Steve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 A truly excellent Scooter. I think that the 'grubbiness' looks just right and thankfully not overdone. A great model. Kind regards, Joachim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
