Build OOTB, but change the serial number as a tribute build for a office co-worker who served as a maintenance officer for the U-2S. I will use custom decals from Draw Decal. Thank you Greg! I must say that his build has been a bit of a struggle, as the instructions are more than a little ambiguous on some points. See my build album for specific notes. Jay Miller's book is truly a wealth of information and photos to properly assemble this kit with slight modifications, where required.
