HI again guys well that ole stubbon streak has arose in me as lookin at the model with a bit of touchin up an fitting all the rest of the decals which i have done this morn an now she looks acceppatble not brlliant but acepptable so i will do more work on her may not fit them missles though but i will see on that but just been lookin at the model an too me i am back to likein it so maybe i was makin a mountain out of a molehill an there is a web address on them bloomin decals so i think i'll drop them an email an see if i get a reply
but as Barry said on his bombcat he said well it looks like a tomcat even with its faults but to me it is a tomcat may not be like the real plane but wil leave it at that A TOMCAT IT IS so will finsh it off an light it up

I hate it when decals start falling apart, it's such a pain to deal with. Looks like you're getting there though Chris!
AN HI Arnie yes when this decal prob starts there is not a lot to be done as when id painted the tails in yellow an black im sort of comitted to havin to use these decals for the plane but at least i still had some part of them decals an lucky i had the right paints to touch up them decals as i had to do this as i have put in far to much work on the plane to just dump it in the bin
THANKS Arnie for stoppin an havin a look see an your post as its you guys who post that keeps me goin well done an thanks

No worries Chris, you're welcome!

Stick with it, I'm sure it'll be worth it when you're done.
