Good afternoon, Can anyone help me? I am building an Academy 1/72 OV-10 Bronco kit and wish to use the Kits-World 1/72 decal sheet for it using the Indonesian decals option. Clarification sought: The decal sheets suggests a color scheme of field green and light gull gray, but, online sources show the 3 tone color scheme, which is correct please? Thanks all.

Hi again, time to present another model made in 2020. The Academy-kit is superb in terms of details, not so much in terms of decals. Luckily, Kits World Decals offers great aftermarket decals, so I decided to give it a go. I also like the subject a lot 😉 One thing I would do differently now would be to drill out the guns. Thanks for looking, comments & criticism always welcome!

#28/2021 So, here´s my dad´s last model for this year. The new Tamiya P-38 kit is one of the best my dad has built so far regarding fit and engineering. Already posted it two days ago but deleted it again because I realized that my dad and I have overseen, that the "E" model had the pitot tube under the nose and not under the wing. Corrected the mistake by stealing a suiting tube from a Hasegawa kit, the Tamiya kit has none such tube. Painted with Tamiya XF-53 Neutral Grey and a mix of Gunze H78 Olive Drab 2 and H309 FS34079 for the olive. Added Eduard seabelts and Brassing MGs, EZ Line for the antenna. Main markings from Kits World Decals and the stencils from the kit.

To view my build please click on the links below - I don't use photo sharing sites. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0YTyzb37wqFSmRRZTBNdldubXRzLWJYOWZqSS1aUFZDblFn https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0YTyzb37wqFZGpPclRpLURxS09fSW96WlF0bUN6UmI3RC1v The kit is built straight out of the box, I used the Kits World 1/72 OV-10 Bronco decal sheet, I lost the lettering and numbers - They curled and tore on removal from backing sheet, so had to make my own decal replacements. The canopy was probably the most difficult part of an otherwise and enjoyable build. Comments appreciated and any help as to how to prevent my decal disaster welcome.
