Hi guys,

Here is my first build. Made many mistakes by building it, I know it doesn't look very good compared to your models But I hope my skills will improve in the future. I am ready for you critics

WOW no comments at all I knew it was ugly, but as it was my first I didn't expected that it is THAT ugly

This is war machine - can not be lit up like a dog eggs - maybe in the future more matte - except that it looks good - it's hard to believe that this is the first.

Hey Daimyo, not sure how I missed this thread, but I've only just seen it.

There's nothing ugly about this one at all, you've done a great job. I'm just about to get started on my first copter and if it's halfway as good as yours I'll be more than pleased!

Yeah, the polish (varnish or lacquer I dont know how exactly it calls in english) ended up way to shiny... Now I bought completely matte polish, and wont repeat this mistake anymore

When I got back into scale modelling a year and a half ago or so I also built this kit. But I managed to fog the canopy up, as I also modelled it open, and while I had masked it, I then got varnish on the inside through the open window!

You have already said, but yes ideally this would have a matt coat. But, its well painted, its well made and so you shouldn't worry, great effort! And not the easiest kit to build for a returner, lots of flash etc on the parts I remember.

Nicely done

First? Well Done .

I agree, the only thing letting it down is the glossy finish, give it a spray with some dull coat and it will look fine mate.

I think it is a damn fine first attempt.
