My second project on the way to a complete Century Series. Like all the older Monogram kits, this has pretty decent detail, but the surface detail is raised. Can't have that, so the first order of business is to re-scribe everything. To give me a nice 'roadmap' to follow, I first darken the area around the panel line with permanent marker, then sand back to the skin, removing the panel lines and most of the ink. Had this been molded in a dark plastic, I'd have just sprayed the whole thing in light gray or white primer and done the same thing.
