I've been watching silently, following along, and  this came out phenominal!  I actually picked up this kit on sale, to be built one day....I can only hope I can do it justice as you have here!

 

Thank you very much Justin! Appreciated! :) 

As I said, I didn't like the kit very much to be honest, but again, it's just my experience. Maybe I am whining too much. :)

Looking forward to seeing your build. 

Best, 

Nikola

Hi guys,

 

I have finally completed this build after beginning in late August last year. It's completely OOB.

I have to say that I am not very impressed with the kit, especially the fit, and I haven't "bonded" with it during the build. Nevertheless it was a good learning experience. :)

 

I am generally happy with the outcome, except with how I handled details.

 

One of the mistakes within the kit, as I learned along the way from fellow modelers, is the wrong ejection seat handle which should have been a "D" instead of "B".

I probably made some colour errors as well but I don't know as I am no expert.

 

Painted with Tamiya, Vallejo and Mr.Hobby acrylics.

 

 

Thanks for looking guys!

 

Best,

Nikola
