I have not been keeping up with things. This is very cool. Great work thus far and it is looking very good.

Last night, I found this YouTube video on the Mitsubishi F-2. A very interesting video. Everybody will say that's an F-16 Viper. Yes, it is but the big cousin of the F-16 aka: F-2 Viper Zero.

Decal sessions has started 2 days ago. Did the underside decals on Thursday, the topside (except for tiny stencils) last night.
Today/tonight I'm hoping to finish off the topside stencils before hitting the sides. I did notice one of the tail tiny diffuser snapped off during my decalling sessions. Not a worry, the kit came with PE alternative of such things.

Decal sessions day 1 thru 3. Bottom side done Friday, topside done Saturday and today. Those thin Grey lines can make you go blind trying to line each line.
I'm done for the night. Tomorrow the fuselage sides.

Great progress Tom. On the home stretch now - that will be a nice addition to the shelves.

So, did you freehand the wing walk stripes? Paint looks really good, too.
