This was a lot of fun to build and even more to paint.
The Syhart Decal and Mask set were fantastic and made the job a lot less scary than I thought it would be.

Primed with Mr. Base White 1000.
Painted with Colourcoats Dark Gull Grey.
Tamiya Semi-Gloss Black, Rubber Black, Lacquer Gloss Black and a 50/50 Mix of Gloss Orange and Flat Yellow.
Finished with Windsor & Newton Satin Varnish.
