Hey Chad, that is an outstanding job on one of my favorite birds.  You did a great job on a difficult camo scheme. 

Sounds like you really enjoyed this build.  May have to get this kit some day (soon).  Whistling

yes very nice looking build.

I'M surprised they did the revell type motor where it's just the face. especially being they build all the after market add ons.

I'm calling this one finished.  Thank you for following the thread and contributing your kind words!  I would say the most difficult aspect of the build was the masking involved.  Especially around the unit markings.  But, as far as the kit goes, this won't be my last!  Beer

Nice camo Chad. I finally pulled the trigger on one of these on ebay. I'm thinking striped or checkered nose. Looks like your in the homestretch.

Glad to see everything came out ok... someone certainly had a grand time with the spray gun out in the field!

You’ve done a great job on a unique and challenging paint job. Can’t wait to see how you tackle the next steps.

Looking forward to the finish!

Howdy friends. Another quick update. The camouflage is down and the masking is up! Fortunately, all went well. This was my first time using Mr. Hobby Aqueous colors per the Eduard color guide. Wow, what a difference they make when it comes to painting camouflage patterns!  So incredibly smooth.  I’m sure they will perform just as well when it comes to mottling.  Some bits and pieces have been painted and I believe I’m in the homestretch. Thank you for looking!

Coming along nice. I just did a similar scheme on a 109. It was challenging but I was pleased. If you reduce the tack of the tape on your hand before going over the decals you should be ok. You could also use the sticky part of a post-it note for that area. I can't wait to get my hands on this kit. I'm waiting for a cheap one to show up on ebay before I pull the trigger. I'm very patient....lol.

Thank you friends!  I sealed the decals with a matte coat so, fingers crossed, they’ll be OK!  Tongue Tied

Looks good so far! Better to deal with the gaps at the leading edge than the wing root. 

Be careful masking the decals. I’m nervous that the tape will pull them up. But you’ve certainly chosen a unique scheme! Looking forward to the finish!
