I had a great time with this kit. It's ideal for a beginner and produces a great looking airplane. Very happy with my results.

(Yeah, that's a cat fur on the wing. Not permanently. Just a fact of life in my house.)

Those roundels contured very well. Did you paint them or are they decals?

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Thanks. They're decals. Much Microsol and Q-Tip burnishing was involved.

That is a nice job on such a great kit.  As far as the cat hair, hey, I know the feeling well.  Airbrushing with cats 101.

Kit decals. I built this OOB except for third-party canopy masks and some fishing line for the antenna.

Thanks. I airbrush outside and in the garage, but the cat hair seems to follow everwhere.
