Not sure yet. I got the Furball Aero Decals coming and it has around 20 options on it.
I have the furball sheet (one of them at least) as well. Mostly ETO bubbletops. I just picked up an old Aeromaster Razorback sheet that has markings for Reggies Reply. Can't wait to build that one.

Yes, please. I'll take them. I won't need the stars and bars decals since I'll use what's in the Tamiya kit.

Nice - I do like a good thunderbolt.

Those pens really do work well with the interiors.

Thanks! Yeah they do! Especially on WW2 aircraft. It's good enough since you really don't see much.

Got the engine painted. Just waiting on the photoetch because it has the wiring loom on it. Started the sanding and filling on the fuselage.

It's a neat idea - certainly I could see me getting a black one for the interior boxes, along with a red, yellow and silver one.

The engine looks excellent!

Looks good Mike. Most cockpits jut need a decent set of seat belts to bring them up to snuff :shoutout:
