New project - RC ? Tamiya Buggy Car Chassis Set

It is a fun small build, I did not add the battery box as I doubt I will use it at all.

It took like 15 mins, at most 20 mins to complete the build.



Trumpeter 1/48 J-7B #3

Looking at the provided decals, I found that it does not match the cockpit IP at all ... 

Given it has limited visibility to the interior of the cockpit after closing the canopy, I take the decals as is. 

Highlight the cockpit with some enamels black, red, blue, silver ... followed by dark grey wash with AK paint.

Time to build the cockpit.

30mm Alto Grey #3

This kit has been idle for very long time, and here is a quick spraying to conclude. Not counting the build time, I really spent approx. 30 mins to complete the paint job. I applied color directly, without surfacer. No matte clear, no weathering, not even panel lining ... and yes, I still cannot find where is the canopy (I assumed it is called this way) transparent part, and I damaged its left palm. 

Maybe I will fix it again in future. Take it as a case close for now.

Bandai 1/144 (?) Starwars Tie Adv X1 and Tie Fighter #7 (Tie Fighter completed)

Borrowed the cannon tower from the Bandai 1/72 A-Wing kit, and prepare a little bundle for Tie Fighter



Bandai 1/72 A-Wing #11 (Completed)

Last part of weathering was with Tamiya X-11 and XF-1, applied with a small piece of foam, and spray with a thin layer of smoke near the engine exhaust area and landing gear bays.
Sealed everything with matte clear, installed the canopy, project completed.
