Nice loking build, you did a good job on this despite the decals issue. I have a couple of these myself, looking forward to getting the chance to build one.

Build Summary

I built this kit completely OOB. I did suffer two major issues, the first being that the decals for the squadron markings were ruined, so I left them off all together and the second being the canopy was slightly damaged with Lacquer Thinner, however I have since minimized this, but it is still slightly visible. Apart from this I thoroughly enjoyed the build. As always I am never concerned with historical accuracy, so not bothered about it whatsoever. I am concerned with the build finish and paint job, which I feel I am still getting better at.
