Apparently one of the features of this kit is that it comes with scratches on the inside of the canopy where it's hard to get to.

Started yet another model to have something to work on while I wait for the others to be ready for their next steps.

Yes mate, may I politely suggest adding yours to the Devotion movie group build also? 👍

I used Ammo Acrylic colors, which suck to spray but are a dream to brush with. I started by spraying but ended up brushing most of it anyway.
The colors are FS25042 Sea Blue (Ana 606) and FS35164 Interm (Ana 608)

Nice build!
A tip about AMMO's acrylis is that the spray best if you dilute them with AK's Real Colors High Compabillity Thinner. Oh the irony that an AMMO product works best together with an AK product...

Urban thanks for the tip. I'll try that out since I have some AK Real Colors High Compatibility Thinner on my shelf, but I switched to acrylics from lacquers avoid the heavy chemicals.

No problem mate! I did a serious test with all my different thinners a couple of years ago and the result was a bit of a surprise.

Thanks Guy, I'll eventually have some better photos made of my builds. But for now these will have to do.

Thanks Neil. The group build was fun. It's nice to other people's approach to the same subjects. Let me know if you join any other group builds.
