Cbowling Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 https://www.flickr.com/photos/159342774@N07/albums/72177720300583451 I’m working on a better way to post the photos here directly. Click on the above link, and it will take you to flickr.com where the album is. I was able to build this pretty old kit for a good friend of mine. He was in the Navy, and worked in the aviation branch . He picked up this kit for $20. Pretty straight forward build. The only issue with the kit was that the canopy was warped on the rear section. Because of this, I chose to open the canopy partially as they were going down the taxiway. Thanks for taking a look. Any comments or feedback are welcome all the time. Happy modeling!

Jboldt007 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 that's a knock -out! I love skyhawks and I love orange! The decal work is awe-inspiring. Newbies like me come to realize how much time and effort that takes... Cbowling and GreyGhost 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decals are from Zotz. Very easy to work with. Nice and thin to. After a gloss coat, the decals were applied. I prefer to use Walthers Solvaset as my decal solution. It does a very nice job of melting the decal down into all of the crevices and cracks. Because the decals were so thin, once I applied the decal solution, I did not try and readjust them.
