A quick little hand-painted build. Gear doors fit like a glove. A little gap between the top and bottom that could use filling (next build). The canopy has NO frame markers so a mask would have been helpful (again, next build). Lastly, the decals are a strange cyan color instead of white. The hunt for 1/144 Nighthawk decals commences.

Definitely odd that they'd do the decals like that.

Agree about having a mask for that small a canopy.

Turned out pretty good, all in all, though. Especially given how tiny that bird is
 
Full credit on the tidy nighthawk.
I agree about canopy masks, the serrated edges of the cockpit make masking one of the harder parts of this kit.
After doing a 48th i take my hat off to you for getting the 1/144 done with a good result in the end.
