More or less OOB build. Will have to use a bang seat from another kit since this boxing was missing it and the nose cone. Was fortunate to find another nose cone in my ESCI Starfighter parts box. Will be using the very nice Rust-oleum Bright Coat Chrome again. Hopefully I will be able to use a few of the stencils from the kit.
.
Edit: Decided that, since this is going to be a NMF and needs to be as seamless as possible, I am swapping this ESCI one to the Puerto Rico ANG build and using the Kinetic kit ( which should NOT require much putty) on this build. Who knows - I might swap back! ROFL
