Easy, there scooter. I'll get them out when the time I right.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

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

Progress, finally, last weekend:

WOW!!!! Been a busy summer, with little consistent bench time. Fresh of a vacation week, got some bench time over the weekend!
:dancing:

Primer on & buffed...
Image

PUTTY WORMS!!! Ended up doing this a second time, masking off the green to re-apply the gray to get better coverage.
Image

Final result. I realized after I started applying decals that there should be another slash of green on the tail near the afterburner.
Image

Underside with main decals in place...

Topside with main decals & a start on the stencils.
