JohnB Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Gonna be a bigun! 😃 This will be my 2nd one of these since I did one several years ago in NMF. I plan to make this one OD and Gray and will use the decals supplied with the kit. Certainly not a weekend build!!! 7 1
JohnB Posted November 15 Author Posted November 15 Getting started. Just finished removing all the little mold tabs so now I'll get the interior parts painted. 🙂 8 1

JohnB Posted November 20 Author Posted November 20 I decided to add some strip plastic and some "black boxes" since none of these details are included in the kit. 6

And there's the rabbit hole I fell down that made me end up binning the two I was working on. Hope that doesn't happen to your build. 4
