The assembly of the (huge) lower/upper hull is quite… interesting ! Lot of dry fittings, and a step by step glueing process.

The rear board: need to add some thin plastic card.

The seam between upper and lower hull is filled with some stretched sprue and Tamiya cement. There is some flash on the bow, filled with Surfacer, smoothly sanded, trying not to f.ck up the sharply fine bow.

Nearly ready for the paint job. The kit’s guide (see previous picture) doesn’t give any reference for the colors’ choice. Any advice regarding the greys (upper surfaces/horizontal surfaces) and the red (lower hull) ?

Hello there,
Zummie is nearly ready for the paintjob. The kit's guide (see recent uploaded picture) doesn't give any reference for the colors' choice. Any advice regarding the greys (upper surfaces/horizontal surfaces) and the red (lower hull) ? (Gunze or Tamiya paint)
Thanks in advance.
