So having sat on the shelf for some time in various stages of build, then paint I finally got this beast finished.
Decals gave me no end of trouble. I used an AM set from Microscale as well for the main markings, but needed to use some of the kit stencils. Putting the decal onto a small spot of Klear seemed to work, but I didn't do this for all of them and so I have some silvering on some decals which has pissed me off. Well it was my first big jet so you live and learn. I can make sure in the future that I do some things different.
I am very pleased with the paint fading though.
Let me hear your thoughts.
Thanks
