Thanks. Yeah, she's purdy, and no one is more shocked than I am. The fins looked rough after I primed them, so I resealed them and tried again. They still looked rough, even after a weeks worth of detail work, so I just went ahead with the paint. Apparently Model Master paints have good coverage because they look very nice, even under close scrutiny in full sun. I'm not out of the closet yet. I still have to get the decals on. Hopefully the next set of pics will be of a completed clone.
And then, on to the Andromeda, 1/2 finished for almost 4 years now.
