Warning, I work at a glacier pace at times. Grab a pint and ease in 😄

I have a well stocked fridge 😁 and I frequently nap. Thus I'm pleasantly surprised by events after forty winks. 😴😳☕🤘🥸🤟

Joining the party! Sympathies for the painting/masking debacle!

I've been modeling since I was 9 years old and I'm now 67. It's all a part of the hobby. There isn't one model I have built for myself, family or for commission that doesn't have at least one flaw or mistake, but usually the mistake isn't repeated. It's called learning and moving forward, it's only paint and plastic 😄😄

Album info

Started this last week. It's a very old Hasegawa kit from the 1990's. No photoetch or aftermarket parts will be used. Combination of Tamiya and Vallejo paints will be used.

Finished today, 5/1/2025. Decals held up well after 30+ years. Still working on my canopy skills. I hate masking and can't be bothered buying pre-cut masks so I usually hand paint them or spend the time masking. This one was hand painted. Overall a nice kit. No issues with fit or seams and not a bit of photoetch was used. Seatbelts were molded on and hand painted. They look fine to me for a display case model.
