Seems like a long time since I was here last. The big RC Skyraider is done and ready to fly, which led to an 86 inch Zero build that I didn't expect but paid well $$$ !
Decals were applied to the IAR this afternoon, will let them set overnight before doing the final flat coat and final assembly. They were from the kit and were not bad, but not great either. Radu carries aftermarket markings for this model, but he didn't have the markings I wanted, so I stayed with what was in the box. The sprue monster struck again, as the landing gear doors and the prop were festooned with plastic blobs, as are the hair fine pitot tube and aerial mast. Not sure how I'm going to deal with those without destroying the parts. That has been the most frustrating part of the build, but it's almost done now, so it's all good!
