I attached the remaining flaps and the entry ladder for the front cockpit. Still have to glue in the fuel tanks, and two other "flap" like objects and the bottom will be set. Props are painted too. Still have my greatest challenge, red walkway!

Well they provided red strips on the decal sheet but you have to cut them up yourself to make the walkway. Its about 6 strips of long red, while the walk way has a triangle pattern and such, it might be rough making it correct. Plus overlapping decals sucks!

Yeah it's not fun. IIRC, I painted mine, or my dad did, as this was many years ago.

I wanted to but had a feeling I would make the width with the tape wrong. Ill figured something out, kind of want to get this done and move on, feels like ive been working on it forever.

Looking rather impressive old chap! Use the decals, just take your time, and position them using Micro Sol or similar. Probably best to do those running in one direction first, then let them set before doing the others. If you get an overlap, try using a new blade in your scalpel, and cutting the decal in position, where it joins. Any small gap etc can be touched-in later, when set. Gloss paint is better for this, which can be clear coated as required later.
