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.

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...
