Hi Carlos!
Looks very good so far! Do you have pictures of the underside? I wonder if this one has the B&W stripes?
I noticed there seem to be a corner missing on the fin flash. Maybe it's just the picture.
Anyway, it looks like a great build!

Hi Jean Luc:
Thank you. YouŽre right, the missing is a brooken piece of the decal in the fin. Now IŽm going to paint it.
IŽll post more pics of the underside when finished but you can see some in my previous post.
It doesnŽt have invasion stripes.
regards.

That does look very impressive. Once you have got a matt coat on, painted the tailwheel and put the cannon in it will be a very nice addition to your collection.
Well done and keep posting the pics.

Thanks Mal.
I will continue with some more touches in the exhausts like a black oil wash and drybrush with dark rust.

Thanks Leon.
Today IŽll work with the rest of the rockets and IŽll wait for the Parafilm M that I bought to finish the canopy. I donŽt want to use the same method I was using for masking canopies (Tamiya masking tape or Scotc Magic Tape) because I was having some troubles with that products in this task. I read and heard that Parafilm M is a grat stuff for this and it doesnŽt leave any residue.
Next pics will be with the bird finished.
Regards.

Hi Carlos.
Really looking the business!
Looking forward to seeing the finished pics.
Did you have to do much trimming of the decals?
After my Academy decal experience I am planning on using custom decals on all the Academy kits in my stash.A real shame as the kits are great moulds and fit together extremely well.
You seem to be making a habit of waiting for canopy related items to finish your kits :-)

Thanks Nigel.
YouŽre right about the decals. Academy decals are really bad, better to use another aftermarket ones.
IŽm waiting the Parafilm M to finish the canopy. I donŽt want to use adhesive tapes anymore.
By the way, today I received the Falcon Canopy Set, so IŽll be able to finish my Moosie
Regards.
