Reini78 Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 after some further work with the airintakes, finally started with the decals DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 the few decals done The real aircraft had "1821" applied on the front landing gear cover, the 1/72 Xtradecal sheet includes it, the 1/48 not. Have also the Fundekals Rhodesian Hunter sheet in the stash, sadly they included a decal with "821"....so left off the number on the model.
