Hi Guys,
You can't beat the price of this kit, the nearest other kit is twice the Hasegawa one. There are some problem tho but it is fun to build, Yes there are some gaps and need filling and sanding. Need some dry fitting ad well. Other than that it is a smooth sail. The decals are a bit thick and registering need some caring and also the edges has lots of film which need to trim out otherwise it creates silvering. Painting boy o boy it was quite hard, first I tried the three-tone camo but halfway I gave up as it was never giving the color I want so I end up painting the two-tone grey one and Yeah I almost the clear part by using class color instead of food colors. It is a bit dated kit, however, I hope you like what I have done with it, Thank you for looking.

Cheers




gap as you notice, i use plastic card instead of putty









I have to do some major buffing and polish to restore the clear part

I painted the drop tanks with desert camo to kill the grey tone

Thanks, Boss, even I want to build another one.

That's a good idea, desert camouflage will suit it.
