Looks really nice.. Nice work in all areas, got anymore details on how you built this? Detail sets, CF decals etc? Thanks

Hi, thanks for your appreciation! But regretfully, i didn't own a digital camera and not a member of AF when im doing this model then.. But the future models of mine will definitely include the progress...

Excellent work! You've got an outstanding finish on the body paintwork.

Tell me, were the decals diffcult at all, or was the painting and decalling of the body relatively easy? The colour scheme looks great, but a nightmare to complete well.

Very nice model of Mika's dream machine. I can see you've added heaps of detail and the overall shots look gorgeous! The last one in particular could pass for a studio shot of the real thing

reply to Captain Mark..

Yup the decals from the tamiya kit itself is a pain in the ass, due to the reason of the age of it. I gt this kit from a seller online and when i opened up the kit, i realised the decals have stain marks and to my unpleasant surprise, the decals are very fragile. But the situation of the West decals from S27 is diff.. They are really good. Nothing to complain.

As for the paintwork, i believed there is alrdy lot of debate going on in the past of whether MS-5 metallic grey is the correct body color. After some research and i conclude tat MS-5 is too light and therefore Gun metal shld be used instead, and the result is really satisfying for mi. Other than this, the paintwork is relatively easy.
