I quite like the way it looks painted (far more interesting than wood)

You're right, painting this kit does make it really "pop". I always admire you skill and attention to detail. Are you using acrylics on this model, or another medium because of the wooden material the kit is based on?

Painting it makes a huge difference . I was looking at some of these kits a couple weeks ago at Hobby Town , I may just go back and grab one . . . or two !
