Excellent work. Love all the variations in the paint work

Heh…you haven't gone to stencil hell yet. Good looking bird.

I've done many more, but yeah, realize I'm not yet halfway. These decals are definitely new for Tamiya, I'm liking it. But some of the ones here are quite large and I've torn a couple. One I did not tear, at least here, is the black section on the starboard side of the vertical stab. I might have torn it but could not find the missing part, so I decided to just paint it. You can sorta see the different texture on the back 5/8 inch or so.


I'm sure the dullcoat will conceal that.

There was no decal for the nose cone. Those of you who build jets (this is my 4th jet ever) might know why, I think the curve would be impossible to lay down, but that's a guess. So I was gonna have to mask and spray some gloss black anyway. My collection of Model Masters is really coming through for me.



I accidentally covered up the little gray square right in front of the windscreen, I'll have to touch that up and part of the frame got hit too. But pretty happy with the result.
