Hello folks, this is my latest model and the first one of this year. Usually I
don't build things in this scale but this kit really turned my attention on so I got it last Black Friday. When you open the box you get some pretty good and fine details that will surely be handy to obtain a very good looking model.

Still despite the fact it comes with very nice features it is a rather
difficult kit to build. You need to have some experience in the hobby if you want to obtain a good result, some pieces need lots of filling and sanding and dry-fitting. And what really grinded my gears was the fact that the main landing gear comes a little bit too long and the position is unnatural compared to the real plane so some mods were made to achieve the correct stance.
I
painted it using Model Master enamels with some post-shading. I did some
interior scratch work like, you can see the building process in this link right
from the start http://www.ipmsguatemala.net/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=51&func=view&id=12282&catid=6 ..
My
next project is going to be the weekend edition E-1 version in 1/48th scale,
we'll
see how it turns out to be.
Cheers
