Holy cow, i finished something.
My one and only completed build for 2021.













I buggered the glass



I love the scheme, and i would love to do it again. On a better kit. And with better decals. These were thick and wierd and silvered really bad even with a super smooth gloss coat.
Ah well. I finished one!!!

Very smart and well done on getting a finish!

Bit of a pita about the glass, but very well done on those decals!

Better it's done than still in the box. Can't you get a replacement canopy? Looks pretty good, actually.

Fantastic scheme! Imagine being shot down by that guy. Well done. Could try a little acrylic future on the canopy.

Good work mickey! I take a pass on these decal intensive schemes because I find decals my least favourite part of modelling. But you made it work! Which kit is it? Revell? Hasegawa?

First of all, congratulations finishing (at least) one kit in 2021!
I do my very best to do that as well, but the postman or deliveryservices are not really cooperating here...

Wonderful build, really special and good looking scheme! Without that close-up of the canopy, would not have noticed it at all, due to the amazing scheme!

That is a really cool scheme, congrats on getting a build done this year.

Still looks really good. I like those special schemes

Thanks all.
The kit is the Italeri one. https://www.italeri.com/en/product/2312
I could order a new canopy, but at this point im not too worried. It looks good enough.
Future is almost impossible to find in NZ. I used to have a bottle but my ex turfed it. Im still a bit salty about that lol.
Everything has been done in Tamiya acrylics with the occasional touch of some generic mini paints.

Wow, that is different! Very well done!
