got the decals on last night and a coat of future, pics on monday when i'm off work.

in the meantime anybody got any pics showing exhaust stains particulary the undersides of the I-16 ?

 

[T Bolt]

Couldn't find any pics of exhaust staining, but I came across this walk-around that I thought might be helpful when detailing your Rata.

Quick search on Google revealed these. The two modern shots show some interesting staining and the period shot, helpful becuse of the white camo confimrs the apparnet wide swath on the wing uppers.
