What can you say about this kit? It goes together like a champ. I wanted to get to the paint job as quickly as I could, so the build was quick. The engine could be the base of something amazing, but looks good OOB as well.

I used Mr. Surfacer as a primer and Tamiya acrylics thinned with Gunze thinner. The model was base coated with the tan color (can't remember it now) and then masked with rolls of silly putty. The challenge was making sure the paint got to the edge of the putty and didn't leave a soft demarcation line.
 
Next time I'm going AMS on this kit with all the extra goodies I can find, but this one sure was quick and fun. Enjoy!
