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

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

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

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....

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