The cockpit is together. This is going to be a pain to paint.

And the rest of the kit.

This is the rest of the kit. Lost the decal instruction sheet showng the decal placement but there's only a few decals so might getaway with that.

Welcome Joss,

 

that cockpit looks rather nice!  I'm sure the loss of the decal placement shouldn't cause too much of an issue. Have you tried searching online though? Some instructions sheets find their way online and you could be in luck?

 

cheers

Aaron

Thanks Steve! I'll take your word for it, I never made a hobbyboss kit, they seem to get abit of flak in reviews but the details look nice! :)

It's Navy Blue. 

My all time favourite colour scheme for carrier aircraft, none of this low vis grey rubbish.

They do look smart! Nice and easy to paint aswell! The fun part will be replicating the glossyness.
