I was happier with the checks than I expected; I was more disappointed with the stripe decals. The black bands on the tail and rudder were painted rather than decal. There are 2 tiny struts that go from the inner wheel covers to the wells that I didn't include because it was too delicate and rather than break something I let it go. The paint isn't as uniform as it should be but I learned a lot and WILL do better next time. Thanks all and on to the next one.
