                        Comming along nicely Bud..

                        And yes, if you want the shaded look, then spray it black and then the grey over the top lightly.. I few times until you feel happy  with it..

                        Same with the red... You will work it out I am sure!Big Smile [:D]

                        But spray the top coat over the black from a distance.. Not right up close... You will know what I mean once you try it!

                        Have not done to much to this, been out. But here are some more pics from what I did so for.

                        This kit has bad fit problems all over. so you might see a lot of putty, Tongue [:P]

                        Have a GREAT day all

                        Anyone know of how I could find out how old this is ?

                        That's an original one Dubau!  It looks like a quick and easy build.  Can't wait to see the final result.  Whish brand is this?

                        Well thanks to Chris I pulled out an old kit I had in my stash for I guess over 7 years, of the Space Cruiser Yamato from the old TV show Starblazers. This kit is a 1/1000. I would have to say it's about 11" long.

                        I will post more pics as I build

                        Thanks for looking all

                        Have a GREAT day

                        Bud
