Thanks again guys.
I worked some on the walker and added some grime. Next will be the laying in the dirt for a while weathering.

Got the dirt weathering on.
Next, I'll attach it to the base and add the actual dirt. I guess I'll use hairspray to layer the dirt unless someone has a better technique.

I got back on the A7.

So here it is buttoned up and black based. I'm going to load fuel on inner pylons, Mk82's on MERs mid hard point and napalm on the outer TERs from the Hase weapons set.

Straight out of the box except for the pit.

Nice work!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Yes it does. Too many on the bench just drags one down.

I completed the light grey and sprayed a gloss coat. I'll get another gloss coat after the decals. The canopy has a terrible fit but oh well. I wasn't expecting much from the kit and not going to worry about it.
