That would more than tax my patience. Great job. Trust me, it taxed mine. The stripes were a real pain and needed little cuts all along the length to get them to fit, and even then it's not perfect, though the magnified pictures do it no favours. That would more than tax my patience. Great job. My thoughts exactly, on both counts! See above
Decals cut along body lines and rear body removed for the second tranche of decaling.
Third tranche
Fourth and final tranche for the body

I can see why some of these ended up being painted a solid color! You have some extreme patience, it is well beyond my makeup to be able to do something like this mentally, let alone the skill to be able to pull it off.

Looking great! Another very clean build. Thank you Tom I can see why some of these ended up being painted a solid color! You have some extreme patience, it is well beyond my makeup to be able to do something like this mentally, let alone the skill to be able to pull it off. I can as well. Anything where you have two tone with one colour being white is difficult
It's pretty relaxing most of the time and as much as i want to get on with it i've learned to let things dry and set, so i suppose patience comes with age
That’s looking fabulous! Cheers Julio

With skills like that, you could get a job in any model company and be the envy of young nimble Asian women wherever you go.
Fantastic result, of course that is the norm when it comes to your builds.

I handed rudeness to you on a silver platter. So glad to see this kit become something other than a space taker. I am in if you are
