Painting regular model kits takes a lot less time than painting gunpla. In two days I got this painted up, detailed, and weathered. I learned a ton about proper paint masking and layers with this, good thing its weathered so the mistakes aren’t as visible. I might have gone a bit overboard with the weathering but I really like how it came out, I wanted it to be a sort of plane that’s been through hell, but still ready for a fight. (ignore the X-15A-2 base, its the only thing I had that would prop it up off the ground.) After fixing and painting it up it kind of makes me want to give military models a go again lol. Maybe, someday after I’ve finished all the mecha related ideas in my head.
