Great looking "tang"

Ps i adjusted your title to more suitable title

[EasyEight96]

Thank you Paul for correcting the title oops forgotten the ISM rules again ohh silly me

I highly recommend the Alclads II Aluminum paint. You really can't beat the stuff.

Nice build so far!

[Lysion]

I have this in my small stash of kits also.

Afraid to touch it tho due to the need of metal paints.

Look forward to see how your turns out.

Looks like a nice kit, tempted to get one for the stash, never tried to paint large areas of metal though.
Good luck

[EasyEight96]

Thank you for the encouragement guys!!
I will be using gunze h 11 for the metal body as my country dont have alcad
