JASDF F-014 APW

[Miko]

Not including the wait for paint this one was done in a week, which goes someway to commend this Hasegawa classic dating from 1989, smooth build no issues, one nitpick is with twelve different marking options the decal instruction we're a little confusing in places, but, the thirty five year old decals behaved impeccabily!

could maybe do with a spot of Microsol and a coat of clear, but I don't have any right now, so this one is done (for now!)

Miko (next built, ancient Hasegawa T33A I'll attempt to build in one day!)

Very nice indeed! Well done, that looks sweet!

Nicely done.

Nice one Miko. You have done well with those decals if you havent't used Micro Sol and Micro Set. I wont go near a decal without it.

 

[Waspie]

Looks grand lad. Don't think I could ever complete a kit in a week!!!!

Yep, it's testament to Hasegawa decals that they worked as well as any I've ever used despite being thirty five years old!
I expect being stored properly helped too, not too hot, not too cold without too much light or humidity. not sure what the 'Goldilocks zone' for decals is, but it appears they were stored in just that.

Miko (ready for my next build!)

Nice work Miko. It looks good in the Japanese livery.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Great result Miko; agree with Ian, it does look very good in the Japan markings
