I built this kit basically OOB.  This kit is huge and has excellent details and many options so you can show off that detail.  There were some fit problems though but other than that a great kit.  This was the first 1/32 kit I have built and I really enjoyed it, may try something a little less complicated as the "Mud Hen" next time though. 

Model Master Gunship Gray overall with Model Master spray-n-buff aluminum for the bare metal sections around the engine compartment.
