carefully peeled the tape off. got some touch-ups to do before I apply decals. for the touch-ups, I'll start with the wings, which is needed most. since the dorsal part of the left wing kinda cracked at the joint between the fuselage and the wing, a little glue and paint could fix that right up. then once I'm done tidying up, i'll start with the clear gloss.

for the decals, I'll start with the cockpit windows very carefully, then next I'll do the eskimo man on the tail. then carefully do each part very very carefully. truthfully, I'm kinda scared this might turn out to be a disaster.....

EDIT: forgot the pics

No probs Rob, I also cut the big'uns in half, makes life much easier. Kit's coming along fine as well, looking forward to the finish.
