This is a quick little build. There isn't much to these but aside from the decals its a fun build.







If anyone had seen my 1/144 Jolly Rogers build you might remember my comments about the kit supplied pilots. Well Dragon out did themselves on this one. These pilots have no heads. That's right no heads!!!!


Assembled


First cote of paint applied




The big decal was ugly going on. For one its too big for the model. Once I got it in place I tried to trim off the excess with disastrous results. Then one of the wheel well door decals went on fine but it floated out of position after I set it down. I didn't notice it till it was dry. ugh

What I should have done was apply the star field portion of the decal and then paint on the red and white stripes.

Do these have real cockpits or is the pilot, seat and office one molded part?

One molded part and the pilot is Echabod Craine. In other words the pilots are headless. Go figure.

Sorry to hear about the decal problems Dirk. When I run into decals that are too large, I leave them in place and let them dry. Once dry, a few passes along the edges where the excess material is hanging over with a sanding stick removes it easily. Hope that helps for future builds. They look pretty good for having pilots with no heads.. lol. "Q"
