Gene K Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) ... the decal sheet calls for it to be white. i think i may err on the side of caution and re-do it! Well, if it's indeed a unique paint job, it would be a unique model. Maybe the decal makers can shed some light on it before you make any changes (I sent them an email).

Rampage55 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Outstanding!!!......Very impressive work Dan.
