I got this kit partially built from a guy who did not want it anymore. It was in pretty rough shape, so I am trying to make the best of it. Here it is so far.

The hairspray method. All of what I am doing I learned form the the Winter Techniques DVD by AK Interactive.

That's looking good so far Trevor. Don't forget to go back and clean out all the paint blockage on the engine screens.

I tried that already. They came that way from the previous owner. Not even hydrochloric acid got rid of it, and I'm surprised it did not eat the PE in the process.

Just finished. Probably going to add some mud splatters in a few places once I get some more plaster. This was my first "hard core" attempt at really weathering something. So feedback please. Please not that some parts were missing when I got the kit, hence the absence of tools and tow-cables.

I got it from the guy who brought in all the kits to give to the send to the troops thing we did. It was partially started so Mike did not find it OK to send over.
