Although it can take away from modeling time, it's always great to enjoy the outdoors and other activities.

We had a heat index of 107 (41.66 C) with an actual outside temp was 98 (36.66). What is this "outside" you speak of?

Well, I am back in the Netherlands so no more mountain hikes or lake swims for now. But on the positive side I am near my modelling supplies so I can finish this build.

One layer of liquid decal film was not enough but after two the decals where tough enough to put them on. Now the decals are a bit thick but that is better then having them break up in the water.

That is what I did in the decals for my F-86. Two layers of film, just to be sure. You'll be fine now.

I thought I subscribed to your build earlier, Borg, but I am subscribed as of now (as you are completing the decal applications). Better late than never.
Your paint looks clean and sharp. I understand you faced some challenges with these colors reacting to each other, but the results so far are great!

I washed the whole plane with an oil wash. Because of the shallow panel lines I choose to retrace them with a pencil where necessary. Lastly, a flat coat because bare aluminium turns flat real quickly unless an aircraft is treated like a modern warbird.
