Looks good Duncan! :thumbsup: :ph34r: :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

The Mirage 4k is a sweet looking bird for a certainty, and you're doing an interesting piece of work.  Gutsy for your first resin build, to bash it.  Kudos to you.

And if you boys think having pin marks is harsh on resin, try the poor masochists who've dropped more than six times the prices you pay for the Yankee Modelworks USS Montana - the part gaps are horrible on it, there's a metric frackton of putty and sanding to get it to have proper clean lines, barrels show up bent, and heaven help you if you want to build the sucker full hulled, because by the gods, man, you better break out a damn belt sander to clean up the gap between the waterline and the lower hull.  1/350 scale, comes with a whopping tag of $600 USD or so, and there's all sorts of work you have to do to clean it up.  I've had the fun of reading the cursing and swearing from two seperate people building her - one of the guys actually gave up on trying to fix most of the structure and scratchbuilt the whole damn structure, with some modifications of course (he's putting an enhanced AA fit on it).
Putty-fu, Scratch-jutsu and Bash-chi, the sacred martial arts of the What-If. Mastering them, is Ancient Chinese Secret.

Overkill? Nah, it's Insurance.  So are the 20" guns.

Late to the party again!! But, an amazing build Duncan and those markings look right at home on her, bloody well done!!
