Wow that is one of mine all time favorite Earth space fighters you have done a fantastic job of it and I love the weathering pattern on it.
Plus the lighting really sets it off.
Just to let you know there was a resin gun upgrade kit for it that came out some time ago.
That looks really good... A few weeks ago I dug a half finished one out of a box to see about finishing it off... and couldn't find the canopy or pilot :angry
The thing which put me off finishing it the first time around (about 13 years ago) was wanting to paint it like Garibaldi's fury and not having access to a decal printer...
I just want to echo what has already been stated about your paint work. You've turned a relatively run-of-the-mill model into a real eye-catcher! thumbsup
My favorite ship from one of my all-time favorite shows. And when I saw the thread had your name on it, I knew I'd be wowed once I clicked on it.
As already stated, the lighting/paint treatments make this thing ROCK. If you took some pix of this model photoshopped against a star-field, it would totally look like a 1:1 scale Star Fury. And more "real" than what actually appeared on the show.
