marauderdriver Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Thanks Shawn. Did a little repair with some Dark Sea Blue. Looking at a possible Beige and off white on the star. Packin' for HotSprings this weekend since my 2 daughters and a grandson are taking my wife and I to the Tom Petty Concert on Sunday....3 Generations of Crumbliss'. No progress this weekend, hope I can finish before the deadline.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Back from the Tom Petty - Joe Walsh Concert in Little Rock Ark. 3 Generations of Crumbliss'..Whata Weekend!!! Managed to lay the Rudder decal down on the right side with a few very small pieces coming off. 2 coats of Future on these decals, before applying the decal, after the Star N Bar fiasco. Will try to add the left side tomorrow and mask the canopy for the last big step...Hate masking canopies! I'll cover with Future to remove the FOG.

marauderdriver Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks Guy's, This is what I have decided, to try to use the kit decals thru-out, knowing I probably will have some silvering with them. After the Star n Bar "Crack-up" I coated the stripes and tail markings a 2nd time. I tried to float them on Future with limited success. OK she isn't a Show winner but she will be entered and will become part of the 6 plane collection of Captured Japanese Fighters. I never would have thought I would get wrapped up in WWII Japanese aircraft Alain Gadbois, Shawn M, MikeMaben and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Jack, you're a total pro ... this is super work. Jim marauderdriver and CANicoll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Jack, you're a total pro ... this is super work. Jim Thank You Jim. Not sure about the total pro part but was willing to compromise with this "Rare" build. To use what was in the box since it came with the decals that fit my collection criteria. I'm happy with the results even though there is some silvering Now to get some time to mask and paint the canopy and anti-glare shield.
