Been working on this kit for a couple months and I'm happy to say it's done. Was a fiddly fitting kit but some of it was really spectacular and some parts not so much...

Wow Mike, you been sand baggin' on us. You foil it?

Let's see some close ups, you got any WIP?
 
Thanks guys!

It's a repop of the Vintage Fighter kit from 2008. Surface was pretty thick overall...but after a base of Tamiya Black, the Alclad Airframe Aluminum went down ok. Some parts weren't so shiny though- like the horizontal stabs...no matter what I did, it resisted.

Bob..I had posted some pics in the What're you up to thread but didn't start a build thread since it was an IPMS review piece...it ought to be published in a day or two and I'll post the link here ;) No foil...just the aforementioned Alclad II shade...took almost three bottles too!

Paul...I've never built or even seen the 1/32 kit so I'm not sure. Brett Green's review might be able to help you answer that...
