Thanks Lyle. Soon ol' buddy. When this one's done I'll be switching back over to the Maverick.
With your skills, you should build a boat or something. Perhaps a Pibber?

Looks great with the markings on! Good to know about Peddinghaus decals. I've seen them pop up once in a while when browsing on EBay but have never purchased them.

Thanks John. Yeah......you're gonna wanna skip out on those. Huge disappointment.
Finished up with all the decaling this morning. Now.....for the not so good news. How in the world I managed to get the stabilizers painted wrong...I just don't know. Painted the bottoms with the topside color and vise versa. Currently stripping the paint from both of them and a re-do will be in progress on those.
Current progress....

Lol! I'm sure that's happened to all of us once!
It's looking really good though Joe - I like that scheme!

LOL! One upright and one upside down.
That sounds like something that I would definitely do.
Thanks for all the comments fellas. Already got the paint stripped, parts cleaned, reprimed and gray warble applied. Then I re-shot the RLM 76 on the bottom sides this time.
