geoffrey abreu Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Just finished this one this afternoon. A very enjoyable build, and I liked the markings!! The markings are from the kit. I added an Eduard P.E cockpit set that really cant be seen!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

geoffrey abreu Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) Beautiful build, Geoff! Any problems with the kit decals? Well as you may or may not know, the decals for this kit are not made by Hasegawa. They were printed in the U.K. by somebody the sheet did not say. The sharkmouth naturally broke in half when I was applying it, but with some patience I was still able to apply it with no noticable damage. I did notice that when sliding the decals off the backing paper, some of the paper would come off on the back of the decal, so on many of them, I had to carefully clean the back before getting them on. Them seemed to snug down after a while with several coats of Microsol. Probably the decals were one of the more difficult parts of the build! Hope this helps you out a bit. Geoff :D Edited October 17, 2006 by geoffrey abreu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mikester Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Thanks for the skinny! I'd like to that one for the upcoming Eastern Front GB, assuming I can find one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
