So this Kit was a real PITA and took a lot of blood, sweat, tears and putty...but in the end there finally is a Growler on the shelf and I love the Lightning-markings, makes it look fast 🙂

Looks great. I've heard this kit is a challenge too.

Thanks! Yeah a real grind this one… I dont mind challenging builds if the kit itsself is worth it and well researched (like those old monogram kits e.g.) but this one was just crap in so many aspects and not thought through to the end. But I am still happy I stuck to it and finished it

Album info

This depicts a Growler after engine startup. As most Growlers it is perfectly clean, I just used pre-shading and a wash for some depth.
The Kit seems to be designed to please every modeler with strong masochistic tendencies (should have invested in something japanese...) - but at least the decal sheet is awesome 😉
