I started with Tamiyas new Phantom II kit, which I am planning to build as an OOB build, "to keep it simple".
Instead of following the logical order, aka the cockpit, I jumped directly to step 9; "The nose landing gear bay".
Already astonished of the kit quality and the engineering!
The gear bay pieces just lock into eachother and create a sturdy construction, which will need just a tiny amount of cement and the risk of cement floodings reduce
The pieces were first primed with MRPs Fine surface primer, before getting a number of thin layers of MRPs Insignia white.
I used deliberately another white nuance, that is not too bright white (as regular flat white) and I found the Insignia white to be ok.
Let's see what next!
