Finally decided to tackle this Tamiya wonder of engineering. Exito offers some interesting markings and I chose "Beautiful Lass." The decal kit profiles are excellent and I'll get a chance to work on my weathering technique. Mr. Color paints will be used. Office is complete.

Thanks mates! The rest of the front office and main build are complete. Everything went together perfectly. Ready for main painting now.

Finished priming and main camo. Working now on the tape lines over the seams.

John "Jump" O'Neill's White 99 is now complete. Tape lines were a lot of work but I think the effect looks good in the end. Decals were perfect. Following a pin wash and some additional weathering, the final flat coat was Model Master Flat Clear Lacquer. Chips and scratches were applied with silver pencil. What a great kit. Thanks for looking.

Looking great, and nice photography too! What was your process with decals ? They look flawless 😮

Thanks Mates! Much appreciated.
@Pierre -- The decals are by Cartograf, so that helps - perfectly printed, thin, and minimal carrier film around the edges. I first sprayed a bit of gloss in the areas where decals were to be applied. Straight Microset and Microsol were used for setting and softening the decals. When dry, I applied a little more gloss over the decals to seal them before the pin wash. Hope that helps.
