Finally got some free time to work on the Archer. I undercoated the interior in Tamiya NATO black with a base coat of AK S.C.C.15 OD. This was my first time using their laquer line and I am totally impressed with how it sprays. I also added some dials and placards from Archer fine transfers. I don't have a Clear view of the Archer dash panel so I had a look at the Valentine and used what I thought looked right. I'll cover each dial with a drop of Micro Kristal kleer. this is a sweet kit not as heavily detailed as the Bronco offering but It falls together. There are however a lot of knock out marks that are visible you need to trim and fill.
