Completed Hasegawa 1/72 SR71A Blackbird

Hi Guys,

Enjoy the gallery. It was started as a project to try to learn how to paint in black. Really tricky. I tried, dark greys, with browns, purples for shadows and grey green for highlights. Somehow, it achieved 60% of what I hope to achieve with it. I will endeavour to improve on it in future models.

The kit is very old and I bought in Hong Kong Hong Kee, on Waterloo street, the lady owner is famed to be honest with her pricing. Had to scribe in all the details and that took a long time. Only thing I liked about this kit, well, it has ONE TREE of sprues....or SPRUE and 2 halves for the main body, I am glad its not like some stupid kits with 900 parts. What crap.

Well, here goes.
