Here is my second entry for the GB!

Hasegawa 1/48, nabbed second-hand at a club meeting
Image

As always, things started off with the pit. It was decent OOB, but I decided to add a bit of wiring and some seatbelts from tape
Image

all painted!
Image

worst thing about this kit? the previous owner had sanded the detail off the IP!!!!! :hissy:
forcing me to use a decal? ....now it doesnt quite match the rest of the pit
Image


moving on, I quickly assembled the major components. Nice fit, and only light buffing is needed after the glue dries

Nice start Owl! I think you coulda done a better IP yourself, but that is part of the hazards of secondhand kits. Great prices, but occasional surprises needing you to "improvise, adapt, & overcome..."

I might just have to nab an eduard kit or something, just so I can stock up my 1/48 spare parts drawer! lol :tongue:
