Hi Thomas. How was the build? I started the pink F-22 Raptor a few years ago. It got put on the back burner, but I decided to resurrect it a few weeks ago and finished it off. Have fun with the decals. 🙂

Yeah!😎
I feel an itching to start the Idolmaster F-14, but I have a dozen other ongoing projects, so this has to wait... 🙂

Hi John, I built it with mixed feelings. Usually the fit is good except for the wings and the rear top/bottom fuselage halves. Also the cockpit would in my opinion require more attention but for a Manga kit it will be ok.
It's nice to build a kit without checking references!

I started with the decals - someone on the Web counted them: approx 820 decals including 692 stars in 3 different sizes!

yes - up to three deep if you count the yellow and white areas which are also provided as decals. As I airbrushed these I do not have to go for all 820 decals!

Ouch but in my mind you did the right thing by masking and paint the larger areas.

I am done with the decals - after all it was quite fun (please don't call the doctor) as they went on quite well. I let it dry thoroughly and will then apply a final coat of clear gloss.
In the meantime I will prepare the display.

Well done Thomas. Those decals on decals on decals take some working out with the instructions in Japanese. 🙂 Where did you get your Idolmaster figure from?

I thank you all!
John: I googled for days in search of a suitable figure of Ami Futami and ordered it finally from an Ebay shop in Taiwan.

Thank you all!
Well noticed Günter - I built the "aestethically improved version" which means no pitot, no ugly blade antennas - and no weapons. I think this decision improves the looks.
