I’ve had this kit in my backlog for almost a year and it’s great to finally get to it. I really want to do it justice because it looks amazing just snapped together. So far I have 2 modifications planned for it, and I’m also planning to paint and detail it as well.

The first mod is a pattern on the shield. I like the orange color and wanted more of it on the kit. I also like stripes on sneakers, like Puma or Onitsuka Tigers and I think something along those lines but more angular would look great on the shield. The second mod is the biggest scratch build I’ve tackled to date: 8 open hatches on the big fuel tank! There is a lot of empty space between the fuel tanks on the back of the kit and I want to fill that space a bit. I mocked it up and I think it will add a lot of dynamic lines to the static looking fuel tanks which make up half the mass of this kit.

Onto the pics!
