A nice quick and quite simple build that I put some extra effort into - I wanted to do an Israeli scheme but didn't have the decals to so I made a mask of the Yellow V with tape and got a friend to cut a mask of the Israeli roundels for [...]
What an incredibly fun kit to build, from the subject to the fit and finish I had a ton of fun.
The details are great and the figure was amazing to paint, a few gaps here and there on the pod but nothing that was too tough to fix up.
