a friend of mine bought this kit...

made a rush job of putting it together and "accidentally" glued some of the parts

without first painting the hard to reach parts..

he then gave it to me and said "fix" it....

i instead bought it from him for a symbolic price...

i needed a couple of days of from my other build, and this was a perfect little

project to do so with...

i dissembled the parts as much as possible...

then primed and preshaded the parts...

didnt like the flat grey some of the parts was to have...

so i painted them black, and then used Tamiya weathering master Dark gun metal and snow.

gave them a very thin coat of Matt Varnish...

another layer of snow and Matt Varnish

Love the Destroid Tomahawk. You did great work!

Glad to see the destroids getting some love. Some of the best and most underrated designs of Macross.
