Aaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!. Excuse me. For the second GB in a row, the decals have failed and left me half finished with them. The Stars and Bars went on fine but the codes and nose art broke up in the water, I could scrape them off the paper like they were paint!!. Sigh. I don't trust any of the other decals so can't use those and it would mean a total repaint anyway. I will see if I can print some off as I don't really have anything appropriate in the spares box. :frown:
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:

Enjoyed the kit but the decals were a major disappointment. Luckily someone had replacements that saved me time and money!!. :grin:
The radio mast is a flimsy but adequate replacement and wing mounted pitot tube is as well. Broke both the originals of course!!.

Nice job on that one Mark & a good recovery from disaster thanks to Davids spare decals. I'm impressed by the way they've gone on, they sure look good to my eye.
