Seems to be a good choice.

I was quite surprised that it airbrushed on to the plastic so well as I had forgot to put primer on first.....

Looks very good so far! Have this one in my stash. Any comments on buildability?

Thank you for your comments Patryk and Roland, greatly appreciated! Patryk: The model itself goes together really well and is quite simple, no issues with fit etc. 🙂
