Hey everyone.
Been a while since I've posted - had to do some travelling for work, then ended up moving. now I'm back, and it's time to clean up the shelf... got less room in the new place, sadly :violin:

enough with the pity party. Started this bad boy, oooooo, I'd say about 20 years ago.

Check out my Picasso'esque 8 year old self's work... damn, I was good. Best darn camo I've ever seen!
Image

I was a genius too and decided it would save time to easily just paint the cockpit, pilot, fuselage, ineterior... GLUED TOGETHER... :wall: :wall:

Did I mention how good I was at dealing with seams and putty?

...

Got a lot of work ahead of me. I'm pretty sure that's tamiya extra fine primer that was sprayed - anyone know how to take it off?
the plastic is old and brittle and doesn't sand properly, raised panel lines and needs to be dealt with lol either it get's reborn 20 years later, or it crashes and burns in infancy. This GB will tell.

I have a few others I'm gonna actually get done, but I'm starting with this one.

Cheers!
