So almost there with just the undercarriage to add and a couple of other bits.
Decided to use the decals that came with the kit. Usually for me decals from old kits break up badly, but these were fine.

Finished!
A nice little kit that was fun to build.
A couple of mistakes. The wheel wells are open, I should have realised this and stuck a small bit of styrene in to create a floor but I missed it
The blue on the underside should also be on the underside of the nose but I just didn't do it and although I realised I decided to leave it like it is.

That looks cracking! Really nice despondman. It has a muscular look and the red nose sets it off a treat. As for using old decals, speaking as somebody who does this a lot, the Frog ones seem to survive better than a lot of others.

Top work!
