Looks great. I have the kit in my stash, will have to build it soon 👍

Desert Marlin
After two hours, the whole cockpit, wings and "fuselage" were together. I got totally sucked in after the first two hours and it really got in the way of other projects! So fun!!!

Desert Marlin
Biggest issue is the choice of D-Day markings. The white bands are 60 mm on each wing and on the booms. This makes the individual stripes 12 mm. Pretty easy once you see it. I started out with 50 mm white band. That was clearly too short.

Desert Marlin
Model Master Neutral Gray on the underside and Vallejo 71.043 (US Olive Drab) on top. Lots of Tamiya Panel Line accent black overall.

Desert Marlin
The Mig Rigging is pretty fine... takes some "getting used to".
