In on the finish line but!!!!!! damned if I didn't break of both antenna aerials. Not sure I can find them si I'll have to figure that out. Have some more clear stuff to add. there are some stencils to go but it's been my experience that once in the active base (carrier) squadron/wing these mostly are painted over. I even more sure in USN combat service they just didn't care. You either knew the aircraft or you didn't get near it in combat.

Masking the canopy/wind screen in this scale was a breeze

Cowl flaps installed

My helper, er, well, yeah she's having fun anyway
