Some decaling........ hey boy, Tamiya decals are thick!!!!!
Some decals problems I have to fix....... I had to use to much Micro Sol and Mr, Mark Softer ....
These doesn´t look too bad!
Are those THICK decals, aren't they!!!!!!
Gotta get rid of those bubbles with more Micro Sol and more heat from a hairdryer!!!!
This does not look so bad, either!!!!!!
I really like those 'meatballs', they are really attractive!
Let’s begin with the smoke.

Josu ArévaloThe engine is almost out of the box..... just the wires provided by Eduard for the back cylinders..... painted with an old Spanish 'Silver' Paint that we called 'De Lara' no longer produced (fabulous paint)
I had a good discussion with some friends about the color of the cockpit..... Eduard photo-etched comes in Interior Green, but AFAIK there where no F4F-4 in Interior Green, they all were Bronze Green (my choice with MRP paint) or Dull Dark Green.....
