Welcome to my first blog on here.

 

This is Eduard's boxing of the excellent Hasegawa kit. I've got the Quickboost engine and Master gun barrels on order but other than that it's an out of the (Eduard) box build, so lots of extras :)

Thanks guys, really appreciate your comments.

 

As for the colour, it does Sen very bright in the pics but isn't so much in reality. Maybe it is the wrong shade (I used Mr Paint US Cockpit Interior Green) but I kinda like the way it looks so will probably keep it that way and learn for my next build.

 

Hoping to get an update in the next few days 😊

 

Thanks

 

Martin

Thanks again.

 

There are no decals as yet, the markings you see are the colour etch from Eduard.

 

To reply to an earlier post, the seatbelts are the Eduard colour etched ones supplied in the kit. They are quite nice if they're bent about a bit before installing them. I did think about getting fabric ones, but it's shame not to use what's given.
