1/32 Hasegawa Spit MK VI

Some of you guys say this may be old school tech but not to me. Yes it has raised panel lines and the pit isn't like the Tamiya one but I think it will shine just as well. I spent some time on the ip and since the gun sight was missing so I robbed one from the spares box and cut some acetate for the reflector.

Soooo... what happened to the Mig you said you were thinking of starting this morning! :hmmm :idonno

Great choice regardless. Looking forward to this! :ro: :popcorn
 
And the saga continues. This has gone fairly quickly with the pit and the fuse fit as good as it is I was quite surprised. the wing join was a little fickle but with some improved sanding it slid into place with little effort and tiny gaps to the fuse. all fixed though. I lost the reflector to the gun sight so Ill make another one.

This thing kept staring me in the eye and asking when I was going to get done with her.
So I relented and did some paint and then broke off the kits gun barrels,oh well.
I had some in the parts box and did some not so good surgery and put them on in place of the kit ones.
I shot the future and another coat tomorrow then some decals. I should be done by Tuesday at the latest if nothing else gets in the way.








Again its not my best but then those are few and far between.
 
As always this isn't finished. I need to do some touch up painting and it should be all neat.
