Thanks guys. Five decals to go. The Hasegawa decals are a beast, not much adhesives left on them so I'm using Tamiya Decal Adhesive and it seems to work well but slow. Should be all good when I seal them with Future. Note in the background part of the propeller assembly gets decalled as well. This was the Italeri decal, one piece and worked great
Thanks guys. The landing gear has been a right pain in the keester. The ends of the struts were too large for the square holes the were to be inserted in so some slow filing was in order. At the other end of the spectrum, the mounting peg for the tail wheel was too small, so I filled the hole with CA accelerator, added a dab of CA to the peg and got an instant bond. The small gear doors slotted in behind the main doors....slot too thick. More filing. The retraction struts need to be threaded into place. Very tight and then trying to line up the lower hole and attachment point on the strut, fun fun fun. Done for another week, camp bus in 10 minutes. Have a good week gentlemen.
