The cockpit was the best part of the entire kit, as it had good amount of details.

The original plan was to have pilots in the cockpit, but Revell only provided one pilot.

By this point the kit had more putty than plastic, nothingg really fit together and it either had big holes or parts of plastic that just didn't fit in any way and had to be sanded down.

This is the first time I've tried doing some pre shading, and while blue worked well, the red was too strong and most of the detailes were lost trying to hide obvious red spots. I did uuse this kit more of a learning opportunity

Instead of 3 color scheme, I've decided to just go with 2 colors. I also had some issues with Vallejo primer peeling, so I didn't want to mask any more parts than necessary.

More or less done, I might have gone too heavy with the weathering, but overall at least I've used this kit more of a learning moment than anything else.

Album info

If anyone is considering buying this, don't. Just get another kit, this was the worst kit I've done, and the only reason why I didn't toss it in the bin was because I got it as a gift.
