2September 29, 2018Assembly instructions. I received the kit with forward fuselage and wings already glued together.
3September 29, 2018Marking instructions.
4September 29, 2018Parts trees. It took me only 30 minutes to assemble this little forked-tail devil. No real problems, however some filing and filling of seams was necessary.

6September 29, 2018Top view.
7September 29, 2018Oh no! Decals shattered! Duh! I should have oversprayed with Future Acryllic floor polish first. Will do so for the remainder. In the meantime, I put on the kit provided US insignia.
8September 29, 2018US insignia decals applied.
