I have decals coming in tomorrow for this build. I have both the original G-6 and the re tooled late by Eduard. I am choosing to use the late kit as there is at least one subject in the decals with the single wooden rudder, or "late" model G-6. I haven't truly decided which I'll go for but I want the option. The late kit gives you both options.

Thanks all, I'm going to try and do a good comparison between the two kits. This is supposed to be a really nice kit. Here are the options for what I have chosen in the decals. A closer look if you will. Everyone was calling for the "Green" earlier, and I like it from a painting point of view, but sadly, it is out of scope for this build as it is post war. So maybe in a distant future build, who knows. Number two on the right is the late version G-6, again as with the other, I'd like some conformation first if I can get it!

 
I am illiterate of this language and can't read it, please explain as it looks like it may be of some interest.

The translation is ...

Ok so I'm starting and moving along as I'm waiting on paint for the other build (expecting tomorrow) I haven't been taking a lot of progress pics and updating, for this I'm sorry but been a bit behind the curve on several other things. Any way it on it starting rungs.
