I looked at a lot of reference photos and it turns out that crayfish have quite a diverse range of coloration. Some even fluoresce under UV light, so I decided mine would too!
He was the only shellfish on the table in Knoxville at the Smoky Mtn Model-Con. 
I like it! I like it a lot! That UV paint treatment is just brilliant!
I am sure your crayfish was the finest shellfish ever to grace the tables at Knoxville!
Hmmm… I can’t put my finger on it (See what I did there?), but certain details bother me about those cockroach models. They look kinda… robotty.
I haven’t seen that one! I have the Mantis and the Stag Beetle.
I actually have plans for that Mantis. She the anchor of my Deadly Mantis collection.
Yeah, I got the Beetle for a friend of mine. Pretty neat kit!

Maybe those roaches are from the X-Files? 
Great episode! I think my favorite episodes are the ones with a healthy mix of humor.
Ok, the crayfish model has to be one of the most unique kits I’ve ever seen. Ultra realistic paint job!
Do not underestimate Japanese kit makers:
No way!!! I never would have thought there is a kit for sushi.
With indie-link rice grains, no less!
Wa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
That’s just insanity!

Wow 
Just ordered me one!
This crayfish thread just reminded me that we had someone donate a lobster model kit to my local model club’s auction yesterday. I can’t remember who bid on it and what the final bidding price was. It was a really old kit which was the following.
The weirdest kits in my stash is a pheasant model by Pyro(1958) and some of Lindberg’s old flintlock pistol kits.
That lobster kit rocks. It’s a… Rock Lobster! And now a pheasant! The US kit makers were bold and imaginative back in the day.
