Thanks but is the worst I've done inna GB.
To boot, I hve lost the support struts for the main gear!
The NK is wayyyyy to large, should have measured the decal sheet.
BTW, the instructions show the Smaller Star and Bar for the wings of Navy,
and the Larger for Marine. Which is Not the case, the actual photo shows
the Larger on VY-143 planes.
The nose is not black on the photo of Engine Eddie sitting in the cockpit,
but is well worm fiberglass..... Will paint such on this one.
Rest of decals tonight.

It's Done. I don't know if it's even going to make my cabinet.
Overall It's just the worst build I have done in my 10 years on the forum.
I can't believe the mistakes I've made.
Wanted this to be a good one, 200 missions deserved a great build.
1/72nd just proved to be too much I am afraid.
Choosing not to have it judged., it's 11.45pm.
I'm beat.

The list is long.
Wing tip angles.
Along with tail.
Outboard bomb racks are switched.
Bombs on racks are all skewiff.
Nose gear section never seated, I could crawl through the crack.
I dropped glue on the fuselage side behind the engine intake.
Canopy angles are wrong wrong wrong.
The seats turned out okay.
The decals? The Puking Dogs on tail top are weak.
Found correct NK for tail in my stash.
Worked too hard for thus result.
