Thanks for all that........... sometimes I am thinking IF it ever gets finished......
Check out the scale of the leaves and the Hero stars, don't you just love some kit decals!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I need to find aftermarket decals to make it look correct!
And I'll just have to live with black outlined numbers.

Thanks for bearing with me on these builds.....

My GB's are like cooking the wife a birthday meal, without being reallllly prepared with all the ingredients. Like laast night, got the wrong Salmon, skin on and bones in, damn.

I am already gathering stuff for the Captured GB. Kit is ordered, Hasegawa Fw190A-4, 09091. Looking for possible exterior accessories, prop, wheels and anything else that will make it look better. Decals will be there when I Start this time. An old dog Can learn new tricks!!!!!!
