The venerable Frog kit, crude, but good enough for my purposes. Mostly a test of my airbrush and spray booth, as a few will be over the next few months. Underside Tamiya Sky went on nice and smooth, topside Extra Dark Sea Grey, not so much. A coating of Future helped a bit, but it's still pebbly. Decals from CanMilAir, and they're lovely. Modifications were scratching a basic cockpit, nose thingies, blanking intakes, and rescribing panel lines.

Nice work Dave! Any idea on what caused the problem with the dark gray?

Nice work! I like your 'clear view' canopy as well :smiley:

Thanks. Probably me, still getting used to the airbrush. Maybe it was drying too quickly, and I need to work on thinning. Seems like the easiest thing to try.

Thanks. Surprisingly it was a Novo kit, the last Attacker I used from them had a canopy that was barely transparent.
