decided to do a quick OOB build to recover after the -110, and I grabbed this fella from the stack
Image

figured that since it was an older kit, I wouldn't fuss too much about the details. Just build it and go. Buuuuut there was no cockpit and with early AMS, I had to do something.

super-quick pit is was. I didnt spend more than an hour on it.
Image

had to cut off one of the little guys' legs to get him to fit. Sorry bud!
Image

painting and assembly...
Image

Image

much better!
Image


also used this stuff for the first time.

note to self; old kits dont fit worth sh*t.

after my first idea failed terribly, I decided to just do generic british markings.

also of note, some pieces were missing from teh box; most notably the gear doors! Since this was just a 'hang-it-on-the-wall' build, I didnt worry too much

I love those little surprises when parts are missing! Good job on the cockpit and she does look like a skeeter.
