This little jewel is the last of the Mirr-A-Kits that I completed. The Mirr-A-Kits are really only half of a model that you mount on a reflective Mylar sheet to simulate a whole ship. This kit consisted of maybe 3 or 4 pieces that easily snapped together to form the half-ship. I sprayed the whole thing Camo Gray and darkened up the body area with some darker gray. I then painted on the detail stripes in Yellow and a medium blue color. I then picked out the other details like the cockpit windows, the R unit and the tubes on the back of the ship. After that I popped it on the Mylar and called it done. Not too much effort went into it. If you look in the reflection you can see me taking the picture! It was hot that day so I had no shirt on. That explains the excess of skin. Eat your heart out! lol I got this piece in a lot for only a few dollars.
