This is my first build since I was about 13 years old. I'm 41 now and excited to be getting back into this hobby. I attacked this build head on. Trying a lot of things I've never done like weathering and using Tamiya's rattle cans. I'm happy with the outcome for my first build and cant wait to get stuck into my next project. Any constructive criticism is welcome. Thanks for looking ?
