Hey that looks super - nice brushwork, it looks like it's been pre-shaded

Cheers

lol, you want "classic moulding tech", you need to check out their old Hawker Hunter. The boxart for the one I picked up (1975 boxing) shows a trio of all-black jets, so, of course.... the plastic is black!

That stuff took FOREVER to glue, it was more like ABS/plumbing plastic than styrene. It was... an experience. :scream:

For a weekend build a nice mordern kit with no fit problems is more appropiate. But two weeks is pretty fast none the less.

lol, yes, that would have worked much better. I was just thinking, NO COCKPIT, small parts counts, simple, wheels-up build. But that plastic, that PLASTIC!!! :scream: It was even difficult stuff to use sanding films on. :rofl:

Lesson learned!
