The wash on this image was waaay too dark, so I removed it and applied a lighter shade. Next pics will be of the finished model 🙂

Album info
Trumpeter's kit is fairly nice and has good external details, but as it comes with Trumpeter, some parts are totally off. With this kit it's the nosecone, which is about 10mm too long! A Quickboost resin replacement is a good investment here. Vertical tail is also missing a large detail, so I'm using the Pavla resin replacement. The cockpit is basically empty, so I scratchbuilt some details and printed custom decal for the instrument panel.
