Thanks James, Michael, and Marko. I found this to be a tough one to build. Much harder than the Italeri F-14 and the Revell A-6 I just completed. Of my builds so far, this one is the one I am least happy with.

It looks nice to me Michael. I have 2 of these. I plan on trying one in the Euro camo.

Thanks Gary and Clifford! Gary, just a heads up, if you are using the Print Scale decals like I did, let me warn you... they are a bit tricky to work with. They are very thin, and strong as well... BUT, they all wanted to roll up on themselves as soon as I tried to remove them from the paper, and it was a real struggle to get them set down correctly. They did, however, sit real nice with setting solution. Overall not bad decals, just really tricky to apply. Might just be my inexperience, but I have not had any issues with Fightertown, MicroScale, or Begemot decals I have used.

Thanks Michael, I had the same problem with the Testors inkjet decals when I used the wrong coating (clear enamel). After recoating with the decal coating (clear lacquer) they worked fine. Gary
