I don’t know if all of this will survive the build process, but I wanted to have proof that I actually pulled it off.

The gloss wasn’t as smooth in some places, so I’ll need to go back with a brush and some mineral spirits to clean up or blend in some of the bleed.

This may be overdone. I’ll look at it again in a few hours. It may need to be toned down a little.

@Andy Ball, fitting the wings flush to the fuselage took some work, and the two halves of the fuselage don't quite match up around the nose. Otherwise, everything has gone together very well. I highly recommend this one

Weathering is nearly finished. I'll seal with another matte coat, and then it's on to final assembly. I've never weathered a plane this extensively before, but I can see why people like their birds dirty.

Thank you, @Ben! It feels like it all came together for me on this build.

Outstanding result! How come you choose a payload with agm-12 bullpup? Did this machine performed a specific mission?

@gasolier, that's a good question. It was one of the options provided by the kit, and I liked the look of them. I think they used the Bullpup against fortified positions and bunkers, but someone with more knowledge than me would have to answer.

Congrats on finishing, just beautiful. Don't know whether that's the what the SEA colors should look like, but this is exactly how I imagine them 🙂 . Well done!
