Airfix 1:72 RNLI Shannon Class Lifeboat Starter Set - GROUP BUILD

I am calling mine done as well. Was pretty fun besides some challenges. My paints were pretty dry and a few decals came apart really easy.

The wash is just the black paint w/ various amounts of water and the chipping is the exacto blade used in the build. I really only have one complaint.. If you are going to expect the user to paint a part instead of supplying a decal, you could at least call it out during the build with the other paint codes. I didnt realize until after it was together that there are parts they want you to paint. For example, the long rails are actually black and only the supports are gray. Inside the book it just shows gray with the exception of the ones @TimM63 pointed out. When you look at the box for decal placement, that is when they call it out. The cabin also has a long black stripe on each side. Since the railings are on and they dont call it out until after then it would be really hard to not make a mess.

In the end, still fun and glad I got in on this. Im still learning on when to stop on things, eventually I will get that subtlety is key. Thanks for getting this together. I might have to sit out the 18 wheeler because I want to start on my AK tow truck.
