WIP : Hasegawa 1/72 VF-22S Sturmvogel II Pt.4
One last look before sealing the canopy! First up I hand painted the cockpit sills with black grey and instrument coaming US grey. Both are given a black wash and lightly drybrushed to pop the details. I dipped the canopy in Future then cemented it to the kit. In addition to the super shine, the …...
WIP : Hasegawa 1/72 VF-22S Sturmvogel II Pt.3

WIP : Hasegawa 1/72 VF-22S Sturmvogel II Pt.1
Like all of their Macross series kits, Hasegawa engineered the kit to be done up in pretty straightforward subassemblies. I decided to do them up as much as possible before the painting process. As usual, we begin with the cockpit. It’s quite sparse but should be OK with the pilot figure in it. Next up, …...

WIP : Bandai HGUC RGM-79 GM Pt.3
