February 5, 2022What happend here? I can explain. This one is an hollow part. I don't know why but in my folishness I filled the hollow part completly with Revel plasto.

February 5, 2022I decided not to strip the primer an just sand it it al little bit.5
February 5, 2022For the Water hose I tried 2 different types of hose clamps. I decided to use the right one, because the original has wide clamps.6

Album info
This is an old Modelkit from Tamiya. I bought it as a kid. Started to build it around 2004. Stopped shortly after. I didn't know what would awating me after such a long time. I couldn't remember what I had already made.
