    started with the decals

    the kit doesn´t include wing walkways so my dad used the ones from the Printscale sheet, which were very thin, tended to wrap and behaved like rubber or a very elastic piece, ws tough to move them around and getting them in place without completely deforming...didn´t turn out that well, have to do some repainting
    also used the wingtip lightning decals from Printscale because they fit better (leave out the position light and not covering it like the kit decals)

    Pity the walkways behaved like this, my friend @grimreaper! The tip tank lightnings look great, though!

    Pity about the struggle with the walkways, Reinhard @grimreaper
    For sure you will get that fixed.
    The tank decal does look great.

    second lightning decal attached
    was my mistake, they didn´t fit correctly, my dad had to cut them apart so that the zigzag is in front of the position light
    also has to do some repainting so that the lightning tip covers the full half of the tank´s front area

    Tip tank fancy decals are usually a pain to add, my friend @grimreaper!
    Great save, though!

    Although a challenge, the lightnings do look great like this, Reinhard @grimreaper
