My first attempt at RAF tactical camouflage. I love the old Monogram kits, you can count the parts on your fingers and toes.

As much as I like them, the 30+ year old decals are going to make me think twice about future purchases.

Funny, the instructions and the box art didn't call for yellow tips. I bought the kit on eBay. It came with a brass etch cockpit detail package, which IMHO seems over kill when you can't see the results of your work. I have many old Monogram kits waiting to build.
 
I remember some Monogram decals of a certain vintage (1980s & 90s?) didn't react well with common decal application solvents. They particularly didn't like Micro Sol. They would often wrinkle up and be "unfixable."
