This was my first kit with an a true airsource.  I used the testor's external set that utailized a cap that snaps on top of an aerosol can and holds a MM bottle.  No experiments here.  This was a exercise in understanding airbrushing (however crude) and masking.  I feel I did fairly well for such an early kit.  I tried the Tamiya clear-over-silver trick to get the gold and was satisfied.  I picked up this kit at Wal-mart because I was not satisfied with the local hobby shop's prices and Wally World didn't have a great selection.  Even then I didn't care for the fanciful nature of most AU kits, so I basically got rid of the trident and made a scratch built gun of some of the pieces of the trident.  It is rather crude but better than before, imo.
