Hey all! I normally hang out in the prop side of the forums, but just "finished" my first model kit since I was a little kid, and thought I'd share what I've got so far and see if anyone has tips on how to improve it (or just advice for me moving forward).
I'm really happy with what I've got, but I'm sure there's plenty of room for improvement. Especially when it comes to decals - I just applied them before airbrushing dullcote over the whole thing, and they ended up lighter than the surface around them...
Also any advice on how to get acrylic paints to adhere to the plastic would be amazing. I used model master since it's already nice and thin for airbrushing, but it's extremely non-durable. Maybe I should prime with a enamel first, then I could use acrylic over that?
Anyway, here she is:
