Well done, even for an old kit. Those are some of the best challenges in this craft. The decals look like they were painted on, great job. The display; was that a purchased item and simply mounted to foam core panel?

Thanks everyone. I purchased the display base, it came already mounted to the foam core panel.

Album info

I purchased this kit on EBay. An "older" kit that was challenging to build. Cockpit canopy did not fit, so I ended up shortening the rear section. My first attempt including the pilot and crew members. A couple of the smaller decals had worn away in box and two of the larger decals on the wings degenerated a little when I sprayed final clear coat ?. I had to make my own masking for canopy, wow that was difficult! I will likely purchase pre-made canopy masks in the future. Overall I enjoyed making this kit.
