They give you three different fuses for the front of the bomb. Trying to figure out which one to use.

Beautiful. I have no idea how to help ya choose a bomb fuse that is appropriate, though. How do intend to paint the yellow tail fin? I think that would be a tough color to cover black primer. Is the yellow tail fin a full decal? All the best.

No I have to paint the tail yellow. I didn't think about that.

Hell, not sure I even have the right yellow.

I’d suggest standard Insignia Yellow or Chrome Yellow for the tail base color.

The decal instructions say Chrome Yellow. Now to find some.

Good luck! I painted the exhausts in black primer on the Vigilante based on your results. Excited to weather those parts.
