Re: Dragon M-103A1 - 1st Entry
Thin on updates along the way I know. You get building/painting and forget to take any progress photos along the way.
Paint and decals on.
Laid on the satin a little too heavy, pooled and dried at the bottom left point of the star. Guess where there will be a pack, tarp, etc, etc, put! LOL
Small break in the decal, will have to hide it with some chipped paint.
Exhaust (Middle back of the upper hull) bottom was sanded down as far as I could go without removing detail to clear the turret. Turret still rubs (alot) but I can now at least put the turret full forward without it looking like it is being tilted forward.
This and the slight warped fenders are probably the most frustrating part of this kit. But once in place and a few things modified, looks the part.
Ready for washes, and some dirt and dust!
Done all with Vallejo. Followed the directions on their US OD Green paint set. Primer, 2 shadows, OD Green and then a highlight. Was unsure of it once the 2 shadow colors were on, but once the OD green goes on to clean up the shadow overspray a bit, and then the highlight color, it doesn't look half bad.
