That is a lot of plastic and metal...

Cockpit done. Only a couple of pe pieces have been lost to the carpet monster.

I'm not sure if the model needs it, but I have put the biggest shot I have just in case.

Having a hard time with the air intakes area as usual.

Lots of sanding, some parts are too thick or have seams, some filling, and some re-scribing. Can't wait for the primer to cover all that.

Ready for painting!

My first time priming in black, let's see.

Grey with some blue tones
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/1/1/3/1418113-13106-35-720.jpg)
Using mig putty instead of blue,-tac for the first time... Fingers crossed
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/8/8/4/1418884-13106-27-720.jpg)
Camo done. I'm very happy with it. Mig making putty made it really easy. Ah, I did put together a base. It needs painting, still looks like sandpaper rather than
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/0/1/8/1425018-13106-41-720.jpg)
All glossy and ready for the... over 500 decals!
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/9/2/3/1427923-13106-83-720.jpg)
I had to take a break from the decals... So I painted the base of the model. I really enjoyed but I overdid the washes

![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/8/3/3/1432833-13106-35-720.jpg)
Finally, decals on! There is a ridiculous amount of them, but somehow I was carried away and put all of them.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/1/6/7/1435167-13106-59-720.jpg)
Final assembly almost ready...

![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/1/9/2/1436192-13106-39-720.jpg)
Let's call it done

![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/1/9/5/1436195-13106-24-720.jpg)
I tried to relate the cracked piece of canopy (in the middle), but it is still noticeable. Don't look at it closely, is rude!
