Hi all, finally got this one finished. I built it together with the Mastercraft Yak 1, which was a horrible kit that ended up in the dust bin. However this one made it. Nothing much or special really and quite simple. The decals however were a real ordeal. Most of them desintegrated after taking them from the water. I had to use stars and numbers from te sparebox and only the nose art on the left side survived its bath.....The lightning arrows that should go right through the stars on the fuselage - as the French pilots of this units applied - didn't make it however. I solemny swear that I will never again build a SMER, ICM or Mastercraft kit.
