The Matcha Aggressor -WIP

Album image #1
Aggressor Hornet! Before starting the whole thing I did a color trial on my newly recruited paint mule as I have to mix the greens myself. Think I got pretty close and all after 2 mixes on the dark and 4 on the light green. Some luck involved

Now some old school cockpit painting 
 

Album image #3
Cockpit is good but seats are very boring...I tried some colors, didn't like it ... 
 

Album image #4
...applied sheep skin with dabbed liquid putty, looks a bit more organic. (Left one WIP) Still need seatbelts

intakes completed 
 

Album image #11
dropped it off the table...ffffff.. 
 

Album image #12
Fit is generally very good for such an old kit, only some liquid putty used to hide the join lines 
 

Album image #13
nose fit is good as well, also added some weight though its not in the instruction, better safe than sorry 
 

Album image #14
Album image #15
Have to make this joint disappear 
 

Album image #16
using a generous layer of soft putty 
 

Album image #17
waiting for putty to dry: one thing I always do is saw some gaps between the moving parts, little things add to realism 
 

Album image #18
Also restored the damaged inlet with some sheet 
 

Album image #19
after the sanding, looks weird&cratered 
 

Album image #20
