ikar Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 This was a big one, measuring a bit over 3 feet long. The instructions say you can use super glue or fast epoxy for assembly but I found super glue could not make a good enough hold so I ended up using JB Kwik for the areas that took the most stress. The rear fins were the hardest part, partly because I didn't want them fully extended. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmk0210 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 That's an interesting project. I remember watching that show. How did you do the finish? Paint and lightlysand? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 The base color is from a Tamiya can and since this monster had raised skin detail I decided to sand instead of dry brushing like the instructions suggested. I might build the Monogram kit and put them side by side. The monogram kit might be about half the size. Just a little detail painting left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
