Thanks John!

I went to add the white stripes over the weekend. And then found out I don't have any white trim... Bang Head

So I placed the order from MicroScale for a couple sheets. Hope they'll be here by the end of the week.

Ah, setbacks...can't avoid 'em. Keep up the good work, though. :)

fotofrank: I added a pic of your build to the roster. You completed within the year, so would you like a custom Florida GB badge or do you prefer to stick with the standard one?

The white trim came earlier this week and I've got the stripes down but it's kinda sketchy looking. Going to clean them up some before taking photos.

I'll keep an eye out for your update! Hope the touch ups go smoothly for ya.

I am hopeful that I will soon get a kit for this build. Placed a bid on EBay for an F-5E Tiger II with markings for both Nellis AFB in Las Vegas and Top Gun in Fallon. We'll see how it goes down.

Sounds cool! Good luck!

Trying to layer a second decal stripe on the first the setting solution caused the first decal to come up. I sprayed the decals with some gloss varnish today so hopefully they won't do this again. Hopefully photos soonish...

I'm a little late to the party, but I've been busy with things. Pulled this Revell F-86 out of the closet this morning and plan to go with NJ ANG 177th FW F-86. Been a while since I've built this kit but I'm suprised about the amount a flash on this compared to the old Monogram kits.
