1/72 Matchbox Red Arrow

--------------------

 

This model was built straight out-of-the-box except for addition of panel lines, cockpit seat straps and antenna. It was painted using Hasegawa acrylic paint and coated with Future. The decal was very thick and fragile (some parts were already damaged from beginning). I had to apply lots of Future to get the decal onto the model.

The kit is basic and great for me to practice technique like scribing panel line. Overall, I think it is a good kit except for the decal.
