Decals in place. I had to be mindful of the camera angle, didn't want to give Pantherman a case of the twitches.

The decal sheet is extensive, when I go back to 1:48, deals are going to be a breeze.

Looking great and the small bit of bench that I can see is moderately clean!! My neat freak obsession is starting to spread.
Seriously though, the build is really good. I'm liking it alot.

Didn't have much time last night, some minor advancement. Going with open waist gunner positions, looking in ot looks unfinished, so I'm going to try putting in a floor.

Finally a bit of an update, as I was finishing the nose it fell off (insert angry face). Got it reattached and sanded back down, it's not perfect but I'm tired of chasing my tail here.
