Built this kit ages ago (in this oldschool 'Afgan" boxing) and I know how crappy it is.
But you did a great job, it looks grand 👍

Thank you! Not the worst kit I've built but certainly have built easier ones.

Album info

Took a while but here it is. The kit was pretty good to build; the engines and intakes are difficult and almost certainly inaccurate, the wing roots need a bit of filler, but aside from that it all went together fairly well.

The digital camouflage decals were a challenge, but that was to be expected. It would have been so much easier with an airbrush, but I can't use one of those where I live.

The armaments are one each of X-29T, X-59M, B8M1 and KAB-500Kr. I neither know nor care if this loadout is accurate, I thought it looked cool. If only I had lined up the pylons properly.

I made a ton of mistakes, but also learned a number of important lessons and tried a variety of things for the first time (including spray can priming - I'm never going back).

Spray primed, brush painted with mostly Revell Aqua Color acrylics.
