Hi all
I got this kit past saturday and started right away. I was finished yesterday morning, but I did not like the head lights so I drilled them out and made a backplate and glass from sheet.
looking at the finisched pix from today there are a few areas that I need to touch up (esp. around and below the seat). I mixed the colour from what I had, it is probably not very accurate, but I do not care too much and I doubt many here in Germany will notice the difference ....
Hope you like it despite some shortcommings.
all the best
Steffen

Thanks Jan!
Yes it is cute (though the guys over at Aeroscale could not agree to that ... )
I do intend to use it with a tabletop, but I have no fixed plan yet. maybe I'll work something out with Marc from Mark58 to use his japanese PSP equivalent ... or something complete different ... as I wrote: no good idea yet.. (input welcome )

Thank you Jan!
but I rather want to use it an a Japanese dio (I'd like to use the included driver, though figure painting is not really my cup of tea)

Very nice finish you put on this. It would be amazing to see one of these in a dio.

Hi Greg
Thanks for your kind comment! Last friday we took a few photos in a diorama setting of Marc Toillie. Jean-Luc posted this as a photo feature over at Aeroscale:
