Italeri 1:72 Lockheed SR-71

 


This is an old tooling that was never that great to begin with. The main parts don't fit particularly well, it has horrible raised panel lines and it lacks fine detail. That said, with half a tube of filler and a lot of sanding, you can knock it into shape. Once the build is sorted, the rest comes together with ease. There isn't much to it. For weathering I've used subtle white dry-brushing and dab wash of white oil paint. It really brings it alive, For a cheap palate cleanser this is a nice subject. It is quite large though. It's longer than a Vulcan and will take up a lot of shelf space. The new 1:48 Blackbird must be massive.
