Igor KondrashenkovThanks guys ... This kit my Dad gifted to me about 18 years ago for my son, who is now 23 years old. My Dad died 13 years ago and now I'm building it for my next son, who is 10 years old, like a present from his Grandad, who has never seen him ...

Moreno BaruffiniHi Igor, first of all, thank you for the story that you shared with us. I think that your son will really love this kind of present.
What did you applied in pic. 8?

Igor KondrashenkovThanks a lot Gents for the warm comments! Camo decals worked (for someone who wants to use this decal I used 2 sheets - 1.3 to be precise), but I would probably avoid this method in a future. I spent 2 full days and found it hard to dip them into the panel lines. But, I have to admit that the final result is quite rewarding 🙂 My son really liked it, so it found a place on a shelf in his room ...
