Just to give everyone an idea of the work Woody has done for these skins, here's a shot of the instructions and some of the sheets of rivet decals. The instructions include placement for all of the rivets, top and bottom, sides and flaps. They also include step by step instructions and tips to get the most out of the skins. Pretty impressive....and again, they lay out beautifully, especially that thin carrier film. If only Tamiya could figure out thin carrier film:rolleyes:

Any chance you could send a file I could print out and check against my Matchbox kit, Woody? If it pans out closely enough, I might be in for a set - plus, you could then market it as being suitable for both kits!

 

Contact me work and I'll hook you up. help@archertransfers.com

Crappy photo time.....starboard side fuselage and wing are done. The skins Woody @Archer Fine Transfershas made are great to use, lay down super easy and don’t mind me yanking them around. Highly recommended when they’re released! 
 

Slow going since I let everything dry before for moving to adjacent panels. But, it’s rewarding. B) 4 day weekend so I hope to make good progress to the port side.

Finished early in the day, but then I went on a cooking spree. Not sure how many of you are the Cooks in the house, but I am here. Jerky, cookies, cup cakes and chips, all with no sugar or carbs. Whole chicken in the oven now lol

 

I will take some high quality pictures tomorrow after work to share how it turned out. Looking forward to getting my black base down soon!

As promised (not food), here are some pictures off the DSLR. Didn't have time to setup a light box, so apologies if they're not super. I did see a few spots to clean up though, that's one benefit!

 

Huh, didn't notice I had the cowling on wrong. Whoops.
