 This
is one of the easiest and fastest models I have put together in
a long time. All in all, this one took me about 2 hours to put together.
It's a pity this one was made so long ago, I would have loved to
be able to get the coccoon for it as well. If
you know where I can get ahold of the coccoon, please let me know!

 This
kit didn't have alot of parts. But they were highly detailed and
fit together rather smoothly with very little problems.
|
 First
I started out with the only part that requires alot of detail. The
cockpit dashboard. This wasn't too hard since it had alot of detail
in it. I did make the computer screen with type on it thou. Makes
it look more realistic. I used white on the instruments along with
a little red and yellow randomly on the buttons.
|
  Next
I started painting the steering wheel and I painted all the little
bat symbols on all the pieces (the hubs especially) Gold. I then
threw the whole interior together and it looked awesome.
|
  Having
finished the interior, I focused my attention to the body. I glued
the fin sides to the body and made sure to fill in the gaps. I painted
the filler flat black. I decided not to paint the rest of the body
but just put a really good coat of Gloss-Cote on it to give it a
good luster. Since the plastic was molded in black, seemed only
natural. I then dry brushed a bit of silver on the bottom to give
it a bit of a rustic gun-metal look around the details. I also did
a dry brushing of silver in the screening on the slats on both sides.
You can't really tell unless you really look hard.
|
  After
all that work (a hour hour and a half) the rest was just putting
the pieces in place and letting the model come to life. I decided
to hold onto the guns and the hook that came with it, and left the
covers unglued so that I could put them on when needed. Here they
are attached with a bit of tackum just to hold them in place temporarily.

And finally here's the finished product. Let me know what you
think!

I had so much free time left over I decided to do
a few realistic pics of it parked in my driveway!
