Nikola Topalov Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hi guys, I have finally completed this build after beginning in late August last year. It's completely OOB. I have to say that I am not very impressed with the kit, especially the fit, and I haven't "bonded" with it during the build. Nevertheless it was a good learning experience. I am generally happy with the outcome, except with how I handled details. One of the mistakes within the kit, as I learned along the way from fellow modelers, is the wrong ejection seat handle which should have been a "D" instead of "B". I probably made some colour errors as well but I don't know as I am no expert. Painted with Tamiya, Vallejo and Mr.Hobby acrylics. Thanks for looking guys!
