Beauty of a Blackbird, Rob! The SR-71 is Waaaay Cool!
I agree with the above - great build. Makes me want to pull out the ol' Testors kit. Glad to hear the Testors Company was very helpful with the replacement decal set - nice to know some manufacturers care.
Hello my friends. I have made the same kit here in Greece before 11 years with 2 years work on it.All the panel lines and rivets are rescribe and is full on it .Do you want to present them here in FSM in another thread...; any comments welcome....and some photos below....
Rob - I somehow missed your finished SR-71 in this changeover.
She is a beauty... well done, sir!
The extra work you did with the panel lines really paid off. If I ever get to building mine, I hope she looks just as good as yours.

I am glad to see that your perserverance with the decals paid off. The end result is exceptional.

Awesome build!! I also like your jig. What materials did you use and how did you build it?

I just used some 1 1/4" doweling spaced the distance of the engines. I attached them to a 1X3 which pivoted in the center. That allowed me to turn the model while I was painting and finishing.
Hope this helps
Re: decal bonder.
I have had very good luck with applying Micro's liquid decal film to old decals. Just brush on a light coat and let dry about an hour and you're good to go.
