The KV1- Erkaranami is my favorite of the KV1s. Those extra plates really give it a beefy look. Looks great

Looks like its coming along well. For a first coat, it almost looks like you have already applied a wash over it but im guessing those are the shadows cast by the camera flash.

Great job so far!

Unusual, I've done several so far and nō problems whatsoever - i've always (personally) found Trumpeter's quality control good. Thanks for the comments!..Jim
