I'm assuming that's a resin kit? Looking good so far.

More please. Cool [8D]

I have progressed this weekend but no pictures, I got lazy.... I got the thing assembled, primed and the first coat of paint.

One comment, the thing has a vacu-form canopy and comes with a plug to help you cut it out. The plug works great and I sealed it with Future before gluing and what a difference that makes. The Future makes the canopy very clear and protects it so you can use CA on it. Wait till you see the results...

Well I managed to wrap things up tonight here are some shots:

Here's the first shot of color but it's way too dark:

Here's some finished photos:







I really enjoyed this kit, it fit very well and was a joy to put together.  I would recommend this kit to anyone.  Enjoy!
