I apologize in advance for the terrible lighting. Photography is not my forte. Need to get a proper photo area set up with a good background but more importantly better lighting. The lighting is atrocious.

I had fun on this build even though at times I wanted to watch it fly away... into a wall. It definitely challenged me and took me into new territory. I'm now becoming less and less afraid to tackle new builds. Anyways, hope you enjoy! :)

I know that feeling about wanting to put it into the wall at times during the build haha, your perseverance has paid off though, it looks great.

Great finish
and another build over
strange we both finished this italeri kit faster then the guys with the hobby boss kits
this kit requires more work to be build but it isn't a race
so yet another good looking kit for the shelf
I know about the light being a problem
I have the same thing altough i think i solved it a bit without spending a load of cash and i'm a terrible photographer (i use my phone)
Cheers Mark

I think the only reason I didn't was because that would damage the wall :lol: But seriously I'm glad I didn't because even though it was a pain I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Great work :clap:

The moment will never come when I don't second guess anything that I do.
