Another rainy day ruining my painting opportunities. So back to cutting, sanding and glueing.
The Bandai kits are wonderfully engineered. More snapt-tite toy than kit, but I don't mind.
Colours will be a bit of a mix and match. I don't want to research exact colours and which panel was stained etc. My usual very own twist 😉

Getting near the finish line. Some matt varnish and little panel liner are all that's left to do.
