I hope you all aren't tired of seeing Viper builds.
I was stressing about starting this kit, because I couldn't find the right color of light blue at the Auto Zone, but I found this color at Wal-mart and thought it was close enough to work with.
It's from Krylon (not Cylon) and goes by the manly name of "Peekaboo Blue"
out of the can it's a little too "My Little Pony" but if you spray it lightly over the grey primer, I think it tones it down rather well. when it is almost completely dry, I ran a sanding sponge over it going from front to back. It knocked down the high spots and let the grey show thru. It will give me a good base for the final weathering (once the decals are put down)
I highly recommend Paul's etch cockpit, but you will need to have that dremel handy to make room in the fuselage for it.
I should be able to wrap this up this weekend.
Thanks to team Moebius for another great kit!
Enjoy, dissect, discuss
