OOB build of the Revell (ex-Hasegawa?) kit.

Only aftermarket addition were some eduard PE seat belts.

This is a decent curbside kit, if not a bit overpriced.

All in all a fun build and a nice way to round out 2010 (finished it about 10:30 p.m.)

Nice clean build and paint, man

those look like real aluminum alloy wheels and check out the valve stems and spokes

I have to offer critique as well. Looks like the body details like the panel lines, canopy hinges and body panel locks can use a subtle wash for a little added depth in detail

Thanks for the comments.

I haven't worked up the courage to do automotive washes just yet. Figures, armor and a/c leave a little room for error -- cars, not so much.

I'll give it a shot eventually, probably not on the next 2 builds though as they are both white (DTM Merceedes and a Ron Fellow's C6R)

Thanks again!

Hi Nathan

That looks pretty good.

I agree with Kosprueone, a wash would definitely lift your model. I usually use an acryllics wash and a fine brush. I always have water and a piece of cloth ready if there are mistakes in need of removal.

You could practice on a piece of scrap plastic. Make a groove in any kind of plastic, paint it at the same time as your next model and practice on it before adding wash to the model.
