Painted using mainly Mr Hobby Acrylics. Straight build apart from Eduard seatbelts and a scratch built pitot tube, which was required after the carpet monster claimed the original. Painted the white stripes rather than use the decals supplied with kit.
Pre-shaded black on grey and used Promodeller black wash to finish. Not the most enjoyable build as it’s a modular kit and needed a bit of sanding back to get the modules seams hidden away.
Enjoy the photos.
