    Nice work, Reinhard @grimreaper. That area around the nose is deceptively difficult to mask.

    kit and Siam Scale sheet didnĀ“t include a usable red fuselage band decal, therefore painted
    gun covers and exhaust area painted with MRP Steel, wing central areas with MRP White Aluminium

    For sure this painted tail band will look much better than a decal one, Reinhard @grimreaper

    Painted red band looks great, Reinhard @grimreaper. I just used the decal on mine and it was a real pain. Probably would have been easier to mask and paint.

    @gblair
    like with the Sabre Dog, the red band decal should have been curved, a straight one is hard to apply when the fuselage is no cylinder

    painting the black stub nose is a PITA, painting...repainting...

    Great looking nose, my friend @grimreaper! Can imagine your repetitive efforts on finalizing the small black part...
