This is a kit that my nephews Ben and Alec
gave me for my birthday this year (2002). They found the kit on eBay; it's a
vintage 1989 vinyl kit from Horizon. Interestingly, the vinyl had
hardened over time, so that it was more like assembling a styrene kit.
In any case, SS was pretty easy to
assemble, and extremely easy to paint -- I used Krylon sterling silver
spray paint. I probably could have done a better job puttying the seams (always
a problem area for me), but overall I think it looks pretty good.
Thanks, Ben and Alec!
