Nice job on the camoflage. Did you mask it or freehand? Airbrush or paintbrush?

Good job on this special topic from a quite bad kit!

Thank you! I masked the camo. The wings are so small, I was able to trace their shape onto a wide piece of masking tape. Then I carefully sketched out the camo pattern from the painting instructions and cut them out with a hobby knife.

You made something really nice out of... not much. I just got this kit for $2.40, I couldn't pass up a model that cheap. Thanks for describing what's in store for me. Did you do anything special to the decals to make them hold up?

One of my favourites. This kit has not had some friendly boxings, but you've done a great job with this one.

@Monte, the decals weren't too bad and didn't require much additional attention. They had an oddly rubbery texture, but they responded to decal solution pretty well. I had to make some compromises to make the rudder decal fit because it is badly out of scale. Someone else on here scanned, resized and reprinted it on blank decal paper for their build, which seems like a good solution. Unfortunately that didn't occur to me as an option when I was working on this!
