Scooby Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Wow, that looks wonderful. I just picked up the same kit and I was considering building it this weekend as well. I have four days off and I was thinking of going hard on one kit. How did the kit decals work? I was considering this build as I have all the Japanese colors by Mr. Color in my collection.
