Nice build what sort of bombs are they and what sort of ordanance came with the kit?

[Chris]

It comes with the two drop tanks and the 6 3.5 inch rockets she has slung under her wings!

I'm surprised you were able to get the Academy decals to cooperate as much as they did. They look good.

It looks like whatever you used to paint the silver bit hard into the plastic though. Is that from a Krylon spray can or some such?

Still a nice model though.

[Chris]

I should have primed it before hitting it with the silver.

The decals were not an issue, i hit them with a little testor's gloss cote and they were fine.

That came out well. The pilot looks much better in the plane then he does outside of it.

[Chris]

I knew he would look better in then out of it.

Not taking anything away from the quality of your build but do the blades on that prop seem a tad too short or is it a trick of the light.
