Kelly WellingtonIs complete but for decals. It needs pix.
An enjoyable build, with only minor issues (the clear piece canopy, again...it must be an Airfix failing).

Kelly WellingtonA bigger failing on this kit than the suboptimal canopy fit is the truly abysmal decals. The upper wing roundels disintegrated in process. Aftermarket decals are on order.

Kelly Wellington*sigh* What a long, drawn-out disappointment. I ordered aftermarket decals online, only to have what arrived be entirely inadequate in that they lacked the proper roundels. So I returned those and acquired a more updated Airfix set....which silvered when applied.
I rather enjoyed building this out, but the whole decal thing was nightmarish.

Kelly WellingtonI finally got a coat of Future and the Dulcote on and it improved the final look marginally. I still have 'silvered' decals. It'll be interesting to see how Iatleri's kit goes together. I also have a Special Hobby C-60 Lodestar. And a Ventura. And a Harpoon.
