A number of firsts for me with this.
First IBG kit I have built. Not the greatest kit in the world but not bad either. The plastic was very soft & I learnt very quickly to go easy with the liquid cement.
The clear parts are quite thick & there are a couple of air bubbles in the passenger side windscreen. I also used the Eduard etch set.
First time posting photos of a completed model on any website.
First time using AK & mig acrylics as I generally only use Tamiya acrylics.
I used mig SCC-15 for the green & AK flat black for the camo pattern.
I had trouble to start with using the mig paint as I tried spraying it like I do with Tamiya paint with a nice wet coat but it just pooled & ran everywhere. I found a couple of videos on YouTube showing how to use the mig paints just misting it on & slowly building up the coats & it worked fine after that.
I ended up hand painting the black as trying to mask it up was a nightmare.

I used AK ultra matte clear for the first time also & this has to be misted on gently as well.
Mig pigment Europe dust was used for weathering.
I scribed in the padding for the hatch in the roof.
