Right about here I realized I had painted the wrong colors.
The underside and half the sides are supposed to be sky blue.

DIY seat belts, brake fluid destroyed the decal.

Pretty happy with it so far.

Finished!
The only thing I had real problems with was the masking of the cockpit, didn't turn out great.
My fourth kit and my best work so far, already looking forward to the next kit!
