This is now on hold due to problems with the decals

New decals are there, and old ones stripped off. Wasnt exactly an easy job though but I got it done.

So the decals that came with the model sucked. I bought new decals, they sucked too, fell apart when they hit the water. The original ones had the wrong blue, pictures on the internet from the real bird show a dark blue. The new decals had a similar color, so now I am going to paint them on the best I can. Really they look better painted on than with decals most the time, but painting stripes is a real challenge, even with masking them because getting them strait is pretty hard, at least for me. Also, the instructions didn't show any colors for the propeller hubs, but the pictures of the bird on the internet show that they are white with the red, yellow, and blue stripes as well.I painted the blue stripes on already, they look good I think except for the band on the fuselage, they turned out way too thin and not very even. I will upload pictures when I get it looking decent again. I also plan on finding a better model and doing a green over grey camo job with a certain nose-art that I like.

I dont know if I should even finish this or just go get the Tamiya one, or maybe two of them because I have a decals sheet with a cool OD Green version too. but they cost a lot, not sure, this kit is terrible though.

Finally finished although not perfect, the canopy just doesn't look very good
