That's awesome, Wayne!

...about a mile back on the trail when i couldn't squeeze between the trees. :lol: I start back on my T-Bolt tonight (better late than never) and the boy is jumping on his Corsair. Then we'll dig back in the stack for some more. Good to be back, guys!

I fell off the face of the earth about 2 weeks before the Invasion Stripe GB came to an end, my plane uinfinished. Why you may ask? I got another toy and in Colorado you have to get outside... :D

Jan, thanks for the info. Are you doing it for the GB? I'm hoping to have that kit in my hands by the end of May and use the AeroMaster decals (#8). It'll be the plane in my siggy.

A woman? :shock:

Awesome! I love that plane. I had a book when I was a kid and it had a picture of that plane. Can't wait to see it.

I decided on hand painting the stripes instead of decals. Terry, I couldn't find a 1/48 cat to paint with but I used a cheap flat brush. What's the concensus, stick with these or spend $6 for decals...there's still time for delivery!

Terry, is that the Academy kit? If so, how'd the cowling decal go on, any advice?

I've decided to bypass the decals and go for hand-painted invasion stripes on my TBolt for the GB. Halfway in I'm beginning to regret my decision :confused: I think the wings are going to be okay but I'm stumped on the fuselage. I'm sure someone has done this with some success. What's the...
