Hi All,
Thank you for the kind words. Ermeio, interesting thoughts on the colors. The Windsock datafile also has a photo of one airframe that displays a camouflage pattern on the upper hull nose. I would love to see a photo of the rest of that aircraft.
15badcats, yes, I had the same issues with the cockpit as Des. It all fits, but very tightly. Moreover, the floor cross-members are undersized and do not touch the hull on either side of the airframe. Overall, I have seen the same issues as Des. My hull also has a warp at the tail end that throws the entire tail out of alignment. I think the make or break part of the build will be attaching the upper wing. We will see, we will see...
Des, thanks for the heads up on the decals. I had been contemplating making masks and your observation on decal quality made up my mind for me. In fact, all of my markings will be home made. This will be my first attempt at making my own multicolor masks. I am doing so with my Silhouette Portrait craft cutter. Here is a link:

That's what I have today.
Best,
Dave
