Weathering thoughts
Night shift is great. I ordered the clear coats from VMS hobbies that he calls magic juice and he wasn't lieing. Virtually no frosting and very minimal color shift. The finished texture is smooth too

My understanding at some point they replaced the door with a more conventional plug door. Is the proto photo the original or replacement door? Fantastic model Ed! Scott McDonald
