There's not a whole lot to this kit, so it should go pretty quick. All the hard work is already done.
Rescribed and sanded down the raised panel lines. Will just have to touch up the scribing after the seams get taken care of.

Did a little bit of extra work in the pit...it's pretty obvious what's been done...

Painted up...

The instruments had pretty good raised detail, good enough for a white drybrush...then I go back with black to cover what I don't want to be white.

She's all closed up now.

Looks great Fermis! I didn't know Revell offered this one in 1/32nd scale...............and now that I think of it.............I'm surprised that you didn't build it in 1/72nd scale!

Yes, the original molds are from the 90's. It was re issued a few years ago. Tamiya does one in 1/72.
