                        A simple build, but a challenge due to the fit up, which left a lot to be desired. I recall building the Monogram kit years ago.....I love the lines on this jet.

                        Finished with Alclad. The decals were brittle and broke apart. Did the best I could with what I had left. This kit had been in the stash so long that the decals just disintegrated...

                        Tigers no Lions, no Bears...OH MY

                        Nice recovery on the decals Crockett.  They don't look bad at all.  And I agree - very nice lines on the Thunderstreak.

                        Awesome work! The alclad looks right one. This kit should remind you of the old monogram one, as I've read it's a direct copy of that kit only with recessed panel lines. I have the HobbyBoss kit in the stash and can't wait to build a streak also. One thing, is the upper wing insignia supposed to be oriented the way you have it?

                        Welp, there's another kit I have to buy.

                         

                        Yours looks good. Well done. Beer
