Some more progress to report.
Landing gear painted and installed and more decals applied.
All I have left is some detail painting, a couple gear bay doors, the rest of the decals, and some ordnance. The finish line is in sight, if a couple sessions away yet.
I also have to verify Milspec's omission of the national insignia on the wings in their decal placement guide. I have this sneaking suspicion it's an error, otherwise their decals are fantastic.
