Nice choice Carl! All the 1/48 kits I've built seemed bigger that that.  |

Nice update, Carl.
Question, did the pictures just start appearing full size through BBimg or did you do something different?
Thanks...

I sprayed a couple of coats of Future 4 days ago . Yesterday and today I applied the "hinomaru" decals . The decals are very stiff and brittle , from old age no doubt . It took large amounts of decal solution to get them to conform even slightly and then I had to slice the deals so they would lay into the recessed panel lines .  |

It took a lot of patience and persuasion Keith . I think those two items are half of what we need in this hobby !

Sorry for the late entry, Carl. I'm here now Buddy. In spite of the grief those decals are giving you, they look great.
