Introduction

Photo 1: This is my 2nd try. I built the same kit 3 years ago. I was a novice and did not even care about sanding partitions. This time, I have confidence?!
Photo 2: I will use Verlinden Productions' 1/32 resin ACES II Ejection Seat.
Photo 3: Here is the detail.
Photo 4: I also chose Cutting Edge´s AIM-120 AMRAAM Missile.

Day 1

Photo 5: Before assembling you need to wash resin parts with dish soap in order to remove chemicals. I use ultrasonic eye glasses cleaner. Dip them one whole day.
Photo 6: After well brushing with tooth brush. Let them dry.
Photo 7: Let's start assembling! Use putty for pin marks. Scrape parting line with knife.
