George this will be awesome !! Ive only seen this scheme done on the old 1/32 Haseagwa !! I'll be really looking forward to seeing this rare scheme in 1/48

Thank you gentlemen. I'll add the innards to Post #2 shortly. From a brief glance at the Lifelike instructions, this "camouflage" wasn't on the aircraft very long because Lt. Col. Claiborne Kinnard felt he was getting too much attention from enemy and friendly aircraft

 

[fubar57]

Innards added to Post #2

Should be cool addition

Most EXCELLENT DUDE! The mask comes in the Lifelike decals, I presume?

Very nice choice George. No fancy masking, all done with the decals!

Nice one George. The Tamiya kit still rocks after all this time. Liking the scheme too.

Thanks guys. Still filling panel lines, tops almost done. Not sure how to respond to thumbs and fingers, they don't seem to be a reply

 

[fubar57]

Panel lines finally filled and ready to get started on the build proper but wait......there's more. I need to add seat stiffeners or whatever they are called, ala this....

Sweet seat there Geo, really like that.

 

[fubar57]

Thanks. I wish it were mine but I need a reference photo for when I get to mine....not as flashy I'm afraid

 

[fubar57]

Also note that the above seat is the wrong colour

I thought, 'WOW', George has been quick. Some good details to check into though.
