Hi all, just finished this. Kit is OK I suppose but decals are awful, they just fell apart in the water, but I managed to save them. Completely rescribed.

That looks like the Italeri kit. Did Academy rebox it?

I have the original Italeri.

Yours looks better thanks to your weathering, mine looks factory fresh as I have never been a weathering expert
