    Hi Pals !
    After a little activation problem, here I am for fun !
    I would present a pure Plamo kit : Kotobukiya’s latest Ghost In The Shell snap kit, the “Kenbishi Heavy Industries HAW-206 Prototype”.
    This 1/35 kit is fully articulated but needs a little upgrade to get “like in the anime” : cockpit detail by the add of some hoses, and led-lighting for all – and my first experiment with self-made optic fiber !

    First, got to paint the cockpit, despite the fact it is not plenty visible when the hull is assembled (not an AH-64 for sure ! we see better even in my armor kits of old tanks !)
    Got to drill the handles, too, it was too poor when plain…
    painting of the whole cockpit is very fast, however some details must be redone after detailing.
    the #13 picture depicts the cockpit, paint finished except coating, with detailling and hoses like in the anime.
    picture #25 shows the fitted cockpit within the hull.
