Good job with the gaps
Yeah Geo once put things together it's more underneath but I could of implied to much dihedral but it's pretty close.If I had not pulled the wings up it was just about flat.;)

I painted the tail instead of the decal because it was all to large.When I made a measurement it came out to be 21 units on the pocket rule and the decal was 24 units and I had a hand mixture of RLM24 which seem to match the French blue pretty well so I centered up the white and the rest was easy peasy.The camo is by the illustration but not the transition from side to top to side did not work so I used the top and fudged the sides.The French did not have a set pattern and I felt the illustration did not have enough French Chestnut in it.The panels behind the seat are copit green and I still have some touch ups on the camo by hand to do.
