Looking good Stik. That will be a real eye-catcher on the shelf

John & John, thank you. Yeah, this won’t be any prize winner, but it will be an eye catcher on the shelf

Today was the decal session, and now this sucker is really colorful. I used a combination of kit decals, which looked a bit questionable, some Microscale decals for national cockades and the squadron badge, and some Yellow Wings Decals for the propeller markings

Now to get this bird all wrapped up

Man that looks awesome. I want to peel the canopy masks off, one of my favorite parts of the build. Did you add the pilot?

John & Lyle, thanks.

John, no pilot in there. The kit figure wasn’t that nice. I just added a 3-D decals harness to the seat.

Coming together well, Carlos.

Just good weathering on yours, John.

I saw one of these in an antique shop around 6 months ago. Lady wanted $70 for it.

Good progress on this Carlos. Paint work is phenomenal!!

Magnificent work Carlos! At first I thought you had a massive wrinkle in your wing decals, but then I looked closer in a second pic. :bag: This is so sensational, Looks like you're close to the finish line!
