I heard
great things about this kit when it first came out so I bought one and it sat in
the stash until earlier this year. I have to agree, it is a wonderful kit with
near perfect fit.

This was
my first attempt at using Alclad 2 lacquers. I didn't polish the primer enough
so I had to strip and repaint to get rid of the grainy effect. I finally got it
the way I wanted and now I'm sold on Alclad 2. The only issue I had with the kit
was the decals. They were very difficult to get to lay down and I had several of
the 100+ stencils fall off. I reattached them with Future and that kept them in
place. Once complete the kit and decals were over-sprayed with Alclad's
semi-matte sealer. Weathering was kept very minimal and only included some light
panel line washes and silver pencil work.
If you haven't built
one, you should treat yourself to this excellent fitting kit.
