to me it's looking really nice... in what way wasn't it a good build? What colours did you use for the camo?

Hey Bart, the kit was great but I wasn't happy with the way the resin seats turned out. Totally my lack of experience though. But now that I think about it, that is the reason I closed the canopy and to me that helps accectuate the lines of its marvelous shape. So maybe not such a bad thing after all. I used Tamiya XF-23 (light blue) for the underside and lightest color of the three color camo. XF-18 (medium blue) was used for the darkest color and and again lightened with a bit of white for the medium color. And thank you for the kind words.

Album info

This is the limited edition from Eduard that uses the Academy kit plastic and adds resin, photo etch and decals. Not as good a build as I would have liked but I learned a lot and now that I've seen the completed model I plan to build another one.
