Good god, Kevin, that is freakin gorgeous! The level of detail and fine points you put into this kit are amazing.

Thanks Evan! I do appreciate that and I told Dan today I was not going to weather because of time constraints(I'm slacking).I will take a pic later against the 109 and one can see how this plane was so nimble with a light HP plant for an engine.It really has been a fun build with ease of assembly along the way.Cheers Guys Kevin

Looks good Kevin.... FYI Pearl Harbor Zeroes were pretty clean and in fact had a glossy finish.

Hey Kev, she looks great man.... As far as the weathering goes, will u atleast do some panel line work to bring out some definition to the shape of her???

Real light possibly will be the right ticket, just to get some depth....

Can u go over real quick step by step how u applied ur decals and what the next step is for u???? The decaling I have to do, especially the 3 seperate numbers is really starting to worry me....

Have you got any Micro Sol or Micro Set Dan? The first one is the most important (in fact, I reckon they're both the same bl**dy thing!). If you have, I'll e-mail you a quick 'talk through' on how to handle individual numbers etc. It's nothing to get concerned about, just needs time and patience.

C'mon.....piece of p!ss...take your time, do one at a time, get it right let it dry, then come back and repeat the process...You could try a Ki-84 with a big arrow marking.......f*ck I might have nightmares again....

Yea Terry, I have Micro-Sol and have used it before.... Ill take some pics tomorrow of the decal sheets and what Im lookin at... The email would be great man....

And yea I know Wayne, big deal, but I get one shot at getting the numbers right, so I dont have the luxury of fu*kin em up, and Ive never done anything like this before.... Damn rookie jitters....
