Very smart John, she's going to look great.

Thanks Craig. I finished most of the last bits of painting earlier today and then put the decals on in a single session this afternoon. A final session and it should be job done.

Excellent work mate, the decals look to have gone down very nicely and certainly help this scheme to be even more colourful.

wow this is a fast turnaround and looking great in the process.

I finished the last couple of jobs this afternoon to wrap up the two seater and complete my two Japanese Starfighter builds. I am not too happy with canopy framing, but I can neaten things up with some thin silver decal if it bothers me too much.

Another fantastic result John, she looks great and especially when displayed next to the single seater.

You have helped to show how colourful Japanese Starfighters could be.

Thanks for having taken part in the GB mate and for producing two superb Starfighters as well as your other builds.

lovely job John.

if unhappy, Sometimes i rub away paint inconsistencies on the canopy glazing after unmasking with a cocktail stick.

it tidies up magically and sharply when rubbing up to the raised canopy frame edge without leaving marks.
