Is this a good start for trying to get into the hobby?

I'd say that's a pretty snazzy piece for your first model. Congrats!

Hey everybody, Thank you all so much for all the help! I never expected for my post to get this much attention. I ended up cutting off a lot of stuff, I saved a ton of money thanks to you guys. I ended up getting the AMT GT350, the Boss 351 ran out of stock by the time I got a chance to head to the store. I had a blast, I'll for sure be picking up another one soon. I did get a bit messy, but overall I did better than I expected. How'd I do? What can I improve on?

 

Looks real Good from this side of the Monitor!

You've done very Well.

Keep Building.

I have that kit in my stash someplace, since about 1990 I think. Thanks for building it !

You're brave going with black on your fist build, arguably not always the easiest to get right. You did well on a first build, congrats !

You will grow from here, half the battle is just finishing that first kit. So no nit picking, not from me at least.

Excellent job!!  

Can't wait to see what you do next!  

Black is a pain at times to come out right, and you did fantastic!  The decal work looks great too!  

You should be proud man!!  I am for you! 

What are you going to build next?
