More photos to follow tomorrow. The decals are by Mike Grant and they were great to apply. There were differences between the Monogram marking and painting instruction, but except for the serial number which was a different number, I painted it according to the Monogram instructions and applied only the part of the Grant decals that were represented on the Monogram decal sheet. I don't know about the rest of you but the only thing I can see of black stencils on an OD airplane is the silvering. The Mike Grant decal sheet also covers two aluminum airplanes, better to use the stencils for one of them. The Monogram decals had only the red decals for the fuel fillers. Speaking of filler, the only filler on this model is some Aves Epoxy Clay on the radiator inlet. Pretty amazing. Maybe the reason we didn't use filler in the old days was that it wasn't needed?
