Another old kit that will come to life from my stash. I've decided not to be so strict on retro-modellling. Of course I'll avoid updating the kit with scratchbuilt items, putty and airbrush, but I'll use current paints ans tools i.e. acrylic paints and sanding sticks. Despite very bad comments on the net, I've found this kit not to be so ugly. With careful sanding I've managed to get a quit decent joints. At least for a retro-kit ...

Some work has been done. It looks like most of the joints are much better than expected.

Going well as I can see, those roundel placement lines are really nostalgic😉

I like building these old kits. Few parts, quick results. Great for getting in the groove again. But the thick and sometimes simplistic parts, not always a joy.
Nonetheless, a great job Yuri.

Album info

Out of the box easy retro-project. I've been not so extreme on this retro-project ,,, Acrylics instead of enamels ,,,, but : no detailing , no correcting , no putty , and no airbrush. The kit has no cockpit and no wheel wells .... so it should be a fast project. Paints used : Gunze , Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics.
Finished ... rather pleased with the result.
