White stripes added, attempted to freehand but white proved challenging to paint. Had to mask using modeling clay.

Album info

This is the my second model kit I did back 1997/98.

Parts were cut with nail cliopper, and glued the model using UHU super glue, decals were taped on the body as I didn't know how water transfer decals work .. it was never painted of course. I remember that my dad helped me assmebling and attaching the inlcluded motor.

Now it's time to refresh the model; I will try to fix assembly flaws, and then paint it using national guard 3-tone camo that can help hiding naive mistakes.

Primer: Light Gray Tamiya LP-34

Base: Citron. Mix of:
7 parts Lemon Yellow (Tamiya X-8)
5 parts Park Green (Tamiya x-28)
4 parts Flat Black (Tamiya XF-1)
3 parts White (Tamiya X-2)
