I did some weathering with mud, sooth, black oil and chipping.
I think I’ll consider them done and will take final reveal pics asap.

I painted the guns with black metal. Then the tracks got a thin layer of rust, some orange rust, and later I dry brushed with steel.

Details in red was painted on the figures, which was a bit of a strain.

I’ll paint some more small details, then I’ll check if I missed something, before putting on a clear cote. Then decals and weathering is left to do.
I masked and painted red chevron markings, that is common for White scars.

Part of the engine nacelles was painted red and then the engines, guns and some other details was painted with black metal.

Then gold was painted on some details.

The windows was painted.

Next I’ll clear cote it and add markings.
The remaining parts was assembled.

I opted to build it flying with the landing gear up.


I’m not sure which part of the stand I’ll use yet, but perhaps I’ll use the bottom grey rod and the short clear one.
For some reason the decals are missing and this was a brand new sealed kit.
I’ll see if I can sort it somehow.
This is the gift I got from my Swedish Secret Santa that I started to build for a speed build group build on HLI.

It’s a fairly easy build and everything fits very nice. GW are also specialists on hiding seam lines and ejection pin marks are nowhere to be seen.
The only thing you need to do is remove nubs and mold lines before assembly.



That was how far I got yesterday. There’s a few more parts to sort before it’s ready for primer and paint.
