Finally! I actually managed to get started on this one yesterday - nothing big, I just started to assemble the cockpit parts and get a couple of coats of interior green on them. I have to say I'm loving the detail in this cockpit, it should look aces when painted up. The fit of the parts is outstanding.
I've always had an issue finding a decent US interior green, so on this one I've given Mission Models Acrylics a try - so far so good. It didn't paint very well straight from the bottle but with a few drops of Hataka thinner it went down really well. I'll let this dry over night and then start on the detail painting. This'll be an OOB with an IP decal - there's really no need for AM. I might even add the rather nice pilot figure included in the kit.
Onwards and upwards.
Cheers!
