Looks good , well done on the gaps. Putty can be terrible to work with sometimes.
Cheers Dennis

Thanks! I have found with putty that less is more.

Neat card, do you have the rest of the deck?

Yes. It was actually my inspiration for model building.

 

[Down Time]

My inspiration, a poster I bought for the man cave, looked at it one day, said to myself, I'm going to build it.
That's when I started in '19.

That’s messed up. Hope you have others from different kits.

Fortunately I do, some of the markings I'll have to do by hand, oh well.......

I always save left over decals. Never know when you’ll need a stars and bars

Yeah, all four. The decal sheet for this plane is toast, I've been able to salvage some of the smaller ones. The larger ones are useless.

No Sir, I have not. I sustain a mild addiction to Testors gray tube.

What were supposed to be decals are now paint.
Onto the stars and bars leftover from another kit.

I had to compress the airfield to get her fit in, still have a few touches to do, still some slop around the lettering.
Then to paint the troops.
