After a couple of months of modeling doldrums, I’m starting to feel the modeling mojo flow again…

Today I finally got a gloss coat airbrushed on in the morning, and this evening I applied the decals… not many, but they sure add color ;)

I want to get this one wrapped up soon…

What a beauty it is ! :wub:

Luckily only a few decals, they can sometimes be pain in the ass to get aligned correctly etc (I know I know, obvious joke.. :giggles: )

Way to go, Stik! I'd use that Painintheass decal on a what-if aircraft. If it was in 1/24 scale, it would look great on a Pro-Stocker. :giggles: :giggles: :giggles:

Thanks guys! Happily enough these decals did not give the challenges that Academy decals have a reputation for… :whistle:

On eBay I’ve seen sets of decals for sale of pinup girls like this in various states of dress/undress and multiple scale sizes…. :hmm: :wink:
