Another interesting subject. Looks like another filler pit!
Your stash must be a sight for sore eyes. You’re coming out with some unusual kits.
Cheers

It is an older kit so a tube of filler and some sanding sticks will be required if built.....I do have a large stash built over the years, (as we all do) - SWMBO isn't quite so kind about though - the adjectives used are colourful at times... :laughing-rolling:

Filled, sanded and polished the main frame -

The sprayed the Tamiya gloss black paint

Then worked on more of the attachments - scratch built an early A-bomb from left over bits from the P-80 Shooting Star kit.

ImageImageImage
Sprayed the chrome paint and lightly weathered it - now in the home stretch...

Great diorama potential if you’re feeling adventurous though.
