Saw the Dragon StIG 33 box in your line-up and thought I'd share a couple shots of the one I just completed.





Unfortunately, my modeling skills are exceeded only by my photographic skills for sheer ineptitude....

Thanks for watching Mark !

How was the kit ? Did you had any problems / issues with it ?

Looks good from the photos.

Actually I'm planning on getting Dragon's latest one and sell my old one at my LHS...

Not a bad kit at all for me, although the purists would find plenty of issues, I'm sure. I found it in a second-hand store in northern Japan, and grabbed it on a whim. I can see how a PE set and an alum gun would really make this thing pop, but since the starting premise was that I picked it up on the cheap....

Love the products you've posted so far. It's been through watching guys like you that I've been able to achieve any level of competence.

Painted some details, added some MIG filters, decals too.
Next step is a matt coat and finish the weathearing with some streaking and other AK products. Also some light chipping.
