Here is a Banai EX 1/144 scale Cosmo Tiger II from the show Space Battleship Yamato. The little EX kit is a joy to behold and really fun to put together. Excellent quality that is reflected in it's high price. I only wish they were a little cheaper so I could build more of them. I painted the kit a lightened Tamiya medium blue, and used Games-Workshop Ultramarine blue for the blue detailing. My Cosmo Tiger represents the CAG bird from the EDF Arizona. Decals were from the kit and easy to apply and had lots of options. I used Future mixed with india inkto tint the clear sensor domes darker, and used more Future as a gloss coat to put decals on. Dull coat was provided by Testors. So there you go, one of my favorite sci-fi fighters. Image: Port side Image: Higher Image: From above |
