Graham T Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Merry Christmas all! Getting near the paint stage on my Kittyhawk RF101C. It's been a struggle so far & before I get much further I thought I'd ask whether KH decals are any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the decals though - the decals on my F9F-8 weren't bad, but a bit stiff and hard to get to conform to complex curves. A bit of work with a scalpel and micro sol got them to work on the curves though. Aside from that, I had no problems. They were opaque, adhered well, and responded well to micro set and sol.

Thanks old boy, hopefully worth persevering with. TBH I suspect that when completed, painted & recalled it won't look TOO bad. Slightly misleading instructions & illogical build sequence along with a poorly detailed cockpit make it seem worse than it really is....hopefully.
