Anyone want to see my Wolf's Head Badge?

Child graduation high school, softball season, yardwork, mayhem at the office - hardly any bench time to be had the past several months!
Progress, finally, last weekend:

YES!!
back on the bench. Running the roads this evening but I should be home around 10pm. May see if I can at least mask off the canopy.
Annnnd the wife & daughter are out of town this weekend too. I'd go with them, but darnit,
somebody should look after the cats.
So I should get some good bench time in.

WOW!!!! Been a busy summer, with little consistent bench time. Fresh of a vacation week, got some bench time over the weekend!
Primer on & buffed...
PUTTY WORMS!!! Ended up doing this a second time, masking off the green to re-apply the gray to get better coverage.
Final result. I realized after I started applying decals that there should be another slash of green on the tail near the afterburner.
Underside with main decals in place...
Topside with main decals & a start on the stencils.
