This was the first kit I built,
It didnt' turn out as well
as I hoped but I think its
ok for a first try. This is
the Revel-Monogram kit that
you can pick up in stores
for around $15, it has been
around for quite a while and
the molds are showing their
age. This kit has a lot of
detail but also a lot of flash
and other problems with the
parts. The Fit takes a lot
of work and a lot of putty.
And as for the canopies, have
lots of clear parts glue so
you can fill in the gaps.
At the time of making this
kit, I hadn't started learning
to use an airbrush yet so
it was painted using spray
cans and the frame rails were
hand painted. Overall this
kit was very frustrating and
almost made me decide modeling
wasn't for me, but I've since
learned that some kits are
a dream to work with and others
like this one a nightmare
that is hard to tame, but
you can finsih up with some
nice results with a little
hard work.
