>>6519080Trumpeter is so terrible, I mean honestly I hate that brand so much, despite building many of their kits in the past. Their photo etch is just horrid too, it's too thin and the etching itself is of low quality, much like many of their molds as well. They're far from the worst on the market, but they push out so many kits that they clearly don't put the time into making every one a quality kit, and instead just flood the market with them.
Anyways I could rant about Trumpeter all day, but here's an update in progress on the Viper Mk. VII, starting weathering but I'm not sure how to proceed with it, maybe some dark streaking on the wings, and then some filtering using an airbrush but I don't know what else to do honestly.
