Yeah I need a carrier base. I'm going to use them with the F-4. A little more detail painting and the seat attached to the smaller tractor. Time for a gloss coat.

Got them gloss coated. Had to fix a wheel on the bigger tractor.

A note to those that might ever build these. The decal instructions leave out a lot of the decals. Look at the box top pics for placement of the others.

Decals are done on the carrier tractors. Next up is another gloss coat and then weathering.
