Well. One VH-1A fighter assembled. That's progress, right?
Overall, I'm pleased with the outcome, but man, that's a lot of parts and modeling for a 2-inch long plane.
My impressions? Not bad for the first models of a brand new game. There's a decent amount of detail and lots of panel lines, which I like to do tricks with using Pigma Micron pens. They certainly have some things to learn about hiding seam lines, but I won't complain. People seem to have forgotten what early Games Workshop plastic models looked like. I'll be going back and doing some fill and sand, but not as much as I thought I would.
I was kinda hoping to be able to magnatize the heads, but it looks like that just isn't going to be feasible without some serious engineering which, frankly, I don't have the time to put in. The battloids might be different, but it seems like cramming a new head in between the hull and the gun pod will bee too much.
Oh well. On to the next one.
