    I finished this TLA-1 kit back in 2018, but I reference it often in others' threads (usually in relation to finishing). So rather than posting the same pics in multiple threads, I'll just link to this post. This was done with U-beaut Timber Dyes (water based) and DIY Wipe-on Polyurethane (±28 coats).
