You did a very clean and accurate job, Bill. I checked the headline twice because I couldn't believe it's 1/72 scale. My hat is off to you!

Hi Bill, nice to see that out of the box can give excellent the results!

Thanks, mates. I like to bring this to contests and club meetings, just to show the young ones that you can build a nice looking model completely out-of-the-box. The price of kits today is enough to scare the kids, let alone the price of the aftermarket stuff!

Album info

Built entirely out-of-the-box in 1990. Paint is Gunze H315 Light Gull Gray overall. Markings are for VF-102 Diamondbacks. I wanted just light weathering, so all effects were done with pastel chalks after the model was complete. Cockpit instrument panels are entirely hand-painted. Photoetch details on canopy came with the kit, and were my first foray into photoetch, which now seems to consume all my model projects!
