Papa Posted October 5, 2019 #1 Posted October 5, 2019 I recently started my Fujimi A 6A intruder Knight Riders kit that has been on my shelf for at least 25 years. This is the seat module. The kit included pilot and navigator figures but I lost the head of one 😯. I decide just to omit them. Canute, popeye the sailor, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote

Papa Posted January 18, 2020 Author #14 Posted January 18, 2020 I think I used the wrong paint on the second coat and the plastic crazed up. Sanding would have remove detail. It was no longer a fun job mtaylor, popeye the sailor and Canute 3 Quote
