One has a pilot but no cockpit, the other a cockpit but no pilot. 

The decals for the cockpit in the ICM kit don't fit the instrument board. 

 

Paint job on ICM kit done 

And final assemby and decals finished. 

Now for MisterCraft kit... 

...the decals are atrocious. They do not stick to the surface, are brittle... 

... stiff and do not play with decal solutions. I used Mr Mark Setter NEO to give it a little bit of adhesivenis und ended up just pressing the decals onto the surface with my bare fingers to have them conform to the nooks and crannies. Inevitably they broke but I was long past the point of where I cared about any of that. 

As good as it will ever be. 

Aircraft need fuel. 

The markings are more or less guesswork. 

It will do. 

Aircraft need an airfield. No real plan on how to proceed from here on. 

A simple display base made from a cheapo picture frame, some modelling plaster, the PAG-14 airfield plates and grass fibers.
