Neat choice!! I have that very kit but do not plan on getting to it until 2020 I think, given my abysmal build pace!

After OPR, some washes, and a bit of pigment...next up tying down stowage and maybe a bit more washes...

Nice finish.




Add some tracing paper diffusers over the bulbs and you will be a photo master! (Focus is kinda important too!)
