All done! It's a good thing I had the Toko kit to pull decals from because the MPM ones fragmented when they hit the water. I didn't like them much anyway because they were over scale. I had to keep stuffing extra lead up into the nose gear well to prevent tail sitting and I should have made the radio wiring gray instead of black because you can barely tell that it's there. Not too bad otherwise though. I enjoyed the experience.
