AREA 88 : "The Final Showdown - Part 3" (F-20 Tigershark)

No box... so we start with the sprues. 

The main pieces. I can leave the electronics out for now. 

Assembled, and a friend... urm, enemy... drops by. 

Urm... there are some gaps. 

Nothing a ton of putty and some shims can’t fix, right? 

Shin is now in the pilot's seat! 

Well... some of him... it's a tight fit in the cockpit. 

Not back for a scratched up 1/144 control panel, right? 

Canopy on, and all sealed up and ready for some paint. 

First coat of white... the undershading looks okay. 

There's some pretty tricky masking to be done... and at this scale, there's not a lot of room to do it! 

Needs a few touch ups, but I can live with it! 

Yeah... that's looking better now. 

Had a friend drop by to see how's it going... 

All done but the tail marking decal... that's going to be tricky.
