Good job mate, am waiting for mine too

Nice job

If I can suggest something: try to use masks for painting frames on canopies (you can cut them from masking tape - good, fast and cheap method) On photos edges looks like freehand painted

Second idea - decals look like not "sitting" in edges. Are you using any liquid for masks? If not it can be a good idea to test some

Looks great, built this a few times lovely kit

Looks good. Clean build. Nice display. In addition to masking tape, homemade canopy mask can be made with white glue, some food coloring and a dab of liquid dish soap. The food coloring will not stain the canopy and the mask dries quickly. It's easy to take off when you're done painting too. Take care, on the other hand, to apply paint lightly on the canopy frames so that the mask comes off clean. If you paint too heavily you'll get a ragged edge at the frames. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. 😃
