Initially I was only going to build one Hasegawa, but decided to do both of these as I could not decide which "one" to do!

One "fix" for the Hasegawa VIII is to add the leading edge fuel tank. Just scribe the lines.

Close up of the wing. I misted a new coat of white aluminum to tone down the dark aluminum. Much better.

The NMF looks good so far, Tim! I usually just use a rattle can of Testors Silver, but I want to try panel shading.
Where did you get the Spit Instrument Panels? I used to have the 3D-Kits .pdf file, but can't seem to find it anymore...
