I didn't do a work in progress for this, probably a good thing. I started it back in April after I finished Mini MMB. But it sat all summer, fall, and even part of winter before I got back to working on it. The fit on this kit was not up to par with most other Italeri kits I have done. There was a lot of putty, sand, prime, repeat done on the wing root seams, and the main fuselage seam on the underside. It has raised panel lines, so whatever I sanded away I just scribed. I thought once I got done with the paint it would be smooth sailing. I should know better than that by now. There weren't many decals, but boy were they a pain. They looked great, so I assumed I have no problems. Well the glue was very thick and opaque, almost white. Luckily it dried clear. If you didn't get the decal right where you wanted it the first time plan on moving it in peices, cause they tore very easily. Managed to get them on there, still not sure how. Took me almost all day yesterday to finish it up. The micro mask I used to mask the smaller windows gave me hell coming off. I poked a few windows back through the fuselage, and used micro crystal clear to make a new window. Overall I'm happy with how it came out.
1/72 and 1/144. I did the "Baby" one a few years ago, and just liked how it looked and wanted to do a bigger one. Again.....what was I thinking?!
