Hi guys,
Here we go… a few final pics of my entry for the campaign.
MikroMir (72-031) Lockheed Martin ‘Have Blue’ ‘Hopeless Diamond’
Other than some user errors (top-to-bottom alignment/glueing and nose antennas continually breaking), the kit went together relatively well. The included decals and window masks were exceptional.
I did a small amount of scratch-building, i.e. added seatbelts (Tamiya Masking Tape), scratch-built Nose Antennas and Exhaust Deflectors (Evergreen Styrene Rods and Strips).
Not sure if it comes across, but here’s the general look I was going for…

Here’s a bunch of Paint Spec blah, blah, blah…

The entire build took roughly 25 hours over two months to complete — time to go “finish” (or start) something else. 
Thanks again for this fun campaign!
