(Part 1/3) Comparing the sprue to a technical drawing it's easy to understand that the fin it's too small...So I add a styrene part.

Print Scale decals are very good, maybe a bit too thick but easy to be treated with Microscale liquids. The symbol is perfect !
My only doubt concerns the blue colour, that is maybe too clear?

In display with my some others models.
Quite happy with the results...
PROs : general aspect of the model, finishing and decals
CONs: some filling are not good...and the right landing gear is crooked...

@Johan: I didn't use the decals from the kit, I got some news decals from Printscale (a brand fron Ukraine). They are very good, you can see an example in pic 16.
Thanks for the compliments!
