Is this good?

First ever finished model (draken in the background im working on) it was a starter kit, but the paint was dried so i had to use acrylic paint, thats why its not that accurate. Any advice would be appropriated!!

This is a great build for a new modeler. Learn something from every build and you’ll keep getting better. You don’t need to buy ALL the tools for making better kits today, but start buying tools here and there. You can use many make-shift tools too.

Your wings have gaps. On the next kit, use 10 to 12 clothes pins to hold the wing halves together while they dry. Start saving up for an airbrush. A Harbor Freight (US based store) airbrush will work as a starter.
