Hi everyone! My name is Reimund
Manneck, I am 18 years old and I live in New York. I started modeling at 8 and
doing it more seriously for the past three years. Thanks for all the support and
inspiration from all the guys at ARC and Hyperscale.
This is Hasegawa’s 1/72 scale
kit built straight out of the box with kit decals which, by the way, worked
perfectly (even the black stripes decals, with a little bit of work and
patience).

This was a very straight and fast
build. If I recall right it took 8 days from the day I bought it to the day I
started decaling. This is certainly the best 1/72 kit I ever. I have also built
their Mk. 21 and have the Mk. VI waiting at the bench.
Paints are Model Master Acrylics.
The upper color of Extra Dark Sea Gray was not available at my hobby shop so I
made my own mixture.

As you can see by the pictures, by the time I
took them I had not yet added the bombs to the model. By the way, I am sorry for
the poor quality of the pics, I am still practicing that trade.

Geez - I wish my models looked like that when I was 18 years old! -
