I would call her done. Completed this project near the end of 2023. For the base colours I have used Tamiya's rattle cans and for the "weathering" oils from Abteilung. The latter is a wonderful product. There are some mistakes, but I am just going to need to live with that. The next one will probably be an improvement ... I hope. I am really not too keen with the prominent seam lines that plagued all the HB kits that I have built so far. I suppose that is part and parcel of our hobby, to fill and sand ...

I have found that my first objective is to complete the build, then look at it. Notice where I would like to improve and the next one work on that skill. Each build improves your skills and I find it never ends, always looking for areas where I want to improve. Be proud of what you have accomplished and keep it around to compare to your next build and notice the difference. Well done!
