Wing tip was dented, so I'm trying to restore it with super-glue.

Wings , stand and tailplanes sprayed Weicon Spray Chrome. Quite good finish for a rattle can.

Wings masked and metallic grey brush painted.

Not bad ....

Old decals being tested in a hidden place ... just in case ... turned out to be good and very thin (too much in fact) .. 🙁
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/8/2/2/480822-15588-28-720.jpg)
J from Japan wrapped and cracked ... brrrrr 🙁 ... I'll try to do some paint job to correct it
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/8/2/3/480823-15588-10-720.jpg)
Nearing completion ... from this side looks rather good ,,, isn't it ?
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/1/7/0/494170-15588-99-720.jpg)
In the end I decided no to fix undercarriage to the airplane ... Just PVA glued it to the inside of the stand ,,,, just in case I change my mind in the future ....
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/1/6/9/494169-15588-72-720.jpg)
J from Japan Airlines broke and has been hand painted .... could have been worst ... 😉

That looks like one ancient kit. Looking good so far. Don't get lost in the expansive instruction sheets....
