    Looking great, Marcus @mvtb!
    I usually take the lazy way and apply yellow IDs decals, but painting them yields in a distinctively better result.

    That yellow stripe will do wonders to the overall look of this already great build.

    Wow, this is really great, Marcus @mvtb!
    Decals breathed more life to this beauty.
    Your last pic tells everything about the futuristic Kyofu shape.

    What an amazing transformation occurs when the decals are applied. It makes something that already looks splendid look even better...

    and this one is looking fantastic. The decals really make it pop. Well done. I especially like the demarcation lines of the green and gray, where the two colors meet. It looks very realistic. What type of air brush do you use ?

    I have one of these kits in the stash, and you are tempting me to have another look at it.
