    @tcinla @mvtb @johnb @fiveten Last night I set some decals. I like DK-Decals very much. Setting is a pleasure. I used Micro set and micro sol. Because of plane was field repainted I didn't use technical stencils. Only mission markings (black bombs and one Victory IJN flag).

    The P-40 L model in the Curtiss series turned out to be one of the better looking models and it performed better too. Your doing a smart and tight build Lis @lis. Lookin good.

    Late models of P-40 looking good! 🙂 Long canopy looks better. 🙂

    Thank you for your good comment! I have had problems with position lights. I painted green and red light under wings in wrong side 🙁 I used drop of aluminium paint to cover wrong color, and repaint in right places.

    Great save, Lis @lis
    For some reason I also forget which color should go where each time.
    I just look it up, over and over again, before I apply the color.
