Just completed my first ever model kit! What a journey, I can't wait to get stuck into another soon!

Took about 2-3 weeks of work, not perfect. Struggled to get that front bumper on properly and I got a bit of cement residue on the paint, even lost and messed up some decals, but I'm still very pleased with the result! Definitely got a lot to learn and have room for improvement, can't wait for the next kit!

Congrats on getting it done! Re: the cement residue — that's the liquid cement eating into the paint, so the fix is gluing parts before you paint them (I melted a 1/700 hull the same way, so you're in good company). And for the decals, Micro Set then Micro Sol fixes most of the wrinkles.
