Damn. Away form my decal stash now but maybe someone can help with the serials.

Putting the decal problem aside, it looks so smart.

I might try printing them up. I think I have some stencil graphics I made up for the P-47J I made up a while back if I can find the file.

I printed up 8 of the tail number decals last night just in case, and all but the top row turned out alright, but I only needed 2 of them. Also did the panel lines on the red areas.

Very nice

The Allison engine F-82 had very unique exhaust stacks that were completely different than the kit parts.
I made up new ones by glueing together thin strips of plastic card with spacers, then cut them to length and notched them with a razor saw. Not perfect, but they look much better than the kit parts.

You're out doing yourself here Glenn mighty fine painting/execution happening here.

 

[T Bolt]

The panel lines and some minor weathering has been completed and the landing gear installed. The main gear leg fit was very sloppy and needed a lot of adjustment as the glue set.
