About an hour ago she went in the spraybooth for primer. Pic to follow when that has dried. Total time spent sofar: 2.5 hours

Well that was fast.
You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Thats more than my 190 and ive been going blind trying to do the seatbelts for a couple of nights now.
As for the kit itself, ill pass judgment when its painted :tomato:

Hooray! Something armor related! Armor builds often are fast... It's the finishing process that slows 'em down...

Oh, interesting. I have build some Dragon 1/144 armoured trains. This one looks very good.

Looking good Kermit, and it sounds like you finished yours as quickly as I finished mine. It only took me about a day to finish painting and decaling, and then I got the weathering done he following day. Nothing like a relaxing three-day build to help things along! Looking forward to seeing the rest of this.
