- Judge 1
- Clean build of a very beautiful kit. Base painting is good while weathering could be more accentuated to emphatize all little details; a very selected pinwash with a small brush. I appreciate the good details painting, such as tools and tow/instruments light. A good model indeed
- Judge 2
- A good build and paint finish. Some more tonal variety over the base colour would further improve the model (e.g. filters). Perhaps also more dust over the lower hull and running gear. The base and figure are nicely done too.
- Judge 3
- A nicely built model with one or two added details which add some character to the finished item. Paintwork is well executed but rather dull and would benefit from the use of filters to add variety to the bland scheme. Detail painting looks OK but a wider variety of colours might have been used on the stowage to add just a little more excitement to the model. The weathering on this model is perhaps a little too understated given the environment in which it is depicted. The lack of a noticable dustwash in particular seems odd.
