This is something I have been working on since March of last year.
The Wave HAFS is a nice easy kit to build. I added a few replacement bolts and need to add some weld beads. Early on I was playing around with a lot of stowage but it was too distracting.
It has a very nice engine compartment.
The model was first hand painted with Tamiya and Gunze acrylics. The brush texture got a little heavy so I knocked it back with 2000 grit sand paper and then went over the base coat with Vallejo Acrylics. The stowage rack was made from brass strip. A top coat of gloss clear was applied for decals.
I finally got around to starting the weathering. It's been too cold in the garage and the enamels stink too much to weather in the house, so I've been weathering at the local club meet ups where the are plenty of other fumes to mix in the air.
Thanks for looking.
