Sambeer79 Thankyou, glad you enjoyed, bit more down to earth with the next one but should a be a fun one. ;)

Great job on such an old kit, really liked the outdoor pics best.

[@spidiq8]

Thanks, I think they help add a bit of realism and natural light helps too

Thank you. I was trying to figure out what was up with those two rockets on the front - never occurred to me that they're spring-loaded toys! And I like the addition of the HT leads and throttle cable - they make a huge difference.

Thanks

[@SmoosWorkshop]

what a really unusual and interesting little kit, shame about the odd fit issue here and there but it probably is very old tooling, absolutely loved the Q voice over, some nice outside photography as well well done :)

[@spidiq8]

Thanks, I did enjoy this despite the lack of part numbers on the sprue and fit issues.

[@spidiq8]

That makes perfect sense, thanks for the info

Please can you list which paints you bought for this and from where?

[@spidiq8]

I'm pretty sure I cover the paints used as I go through the build videos.
I can give a rough idea but I don't remember exactly as it was ages ago I did this and I have a wide range of paints built up over years so unless it's a particularly unusual one I don't buy as I build the kit.
The frame was done with an AK? Buffable in a tube. I liked them at first but wouldn't recommend them as they don't stand up to handling. More of a wax than a paint.
The yellow of the body was Tamiya X? whichever is the yellow gloss, the silver of the underside would most likely have been citadel mithril silver which sadly is no longer available. (The old GW paints were great), I believe Vallejo game colour are similar but can't confirm as I haven't tried them.
The rotors I think were also Tamiya acrylic. The Bond figure was mostly Vallejo color brush painted.
Hope that helps. You can see the whole series in a playlist here and I usually mention the paints and products used as I point them out.

[@TomSykesMedia]

thanks very much. I hadn’t yet watched all the videos.

[@spidiq8]

@@TomSykesMedia No problem. If I don't cover all give me another shout and I'll dig through my paints and try to remember any specific ones.
I'm pretty sure I challenged myself to only use acrylics on this one though if memory serves.
