    Initially my dad wanted to do a Spanish Nationalist post war scheme from the 40ies/50ies, but found out, that you can´t do one with some changes to the Eduard kit. So he decided to build a Chinese Nationlist one with Blue Rider decals.

    changing the scheme...
    because the wip Type 5 is already all greenm decided to do a different Chinese one with Begemot decals from an Ark Models kit, doing the box art scheme with the black cowl
    removed the "71" decals and repainted the fuselage

    applied the Begemot number, turned out the white of these decals is more intense and covering than the Blue Rider one
    so, did cut out the white stripes of the Begemot decals and applied them over the previous ones. The Ark Model kit only includes two Chinese roundels, gonna use them fur the upper wings. For the under wings my dad´s gonna use the larger Blue Rider decals that were intended for the Lightning, with a white painted base under them
